Experts predict a serious rise in prices along with rising prices for dairy products, and ice cream will also become more expensive. Chocolate popsicle lovers will especially suffer. Our colleagues from MSK1.RU learned from experts how much the price of ice cream will increase and what this is connected with. Do Russians eat more ice cream than anyone else in the world? consumption and production of ice cream. According to the Union of Dairy Producers (Soyuzmoloko), in the first quarter of 2024, the volume of ice cream production increased by 15–17% compared to the same period last year. In addition, 2023 has already become a record year. However, milk experts do not agree that the projected price increase of 15-25% is an anomaly - in 2023, Russians have already eaten a record amount of ice cream: more than 3 kilograms per capita - more than 0.5 million tons. The volume of production at the end of 2023 also became a record in the entire modern history of Russia and reached 524 thousand tons, increasing by 13% compared to 2022, Soyuzmoloko explained to MSK1.RU. – Last year was difficult for the ice cream industry: the cost of both raw milk and processing increased. This was due to rising wages, the cost of fuel and electricity and other major cost components, including rising prices for cocoa beans on the world market. Soyuzmoloko does not expect that this year ice cream will increase the share of other food products and the milk category in General Maria Zhebit, press secretary of the Union of Milk Producers Now the cheapest ice cream costs 25 rubles - that’s what they ask for a dairy dessert in the form of cottage cheese weighing 60 grams . For more expensive and larger options they ask for several hundred - it is for buyers in this category that the price increase will be the most painful: a bucket for 800 rubles will rise to 1000 rubles. “We need to raise prices,” Deputy Director of the Union of Ice Producers of Russia Natalya Utkina also does not see an anomaly in the rise in price of ice cream. According to her, product prices are rising along with inflation - by an average of 5-10%. Adding fuel to the fire According to Utkina, butter and milk fats are among the main ingredients for ice cream. The rise in price of ice cream provoked an increase in prices for ice cream itself. In April 2024, the cost of butter. increased by almost 44% compared to April 2023,” Utkina noted. — Milk fat cost 31 rubles per liter last year, now it’s 37 liters. Of course, it is necessary to increase prices so that the manufacturer receives at least some profit. The richer the ice cream, the more expensive it will cost. Natalya Utkina, deputy director of the Union of Ice Cream Makers of Russia “People Do.” I don’t want to work for $100,” Natalya Utkina commented on the particularly high price of chocolate ice cream. In addition to general inflation and rising prices for milk fats, this was also affected by a record increase in prices for cocoa beans in Africa. Namely, they are used to make chocolate and chocolate icing. “Cocoa beans, which in the spring of 2023 cost 3 thousand dollars per ton of product, this year jumped to 11 thousand dollars per ton of product,” said Utkina, significantly in price Source: Artem Ustyuzhanin / E1.RU Vice-President agrees with her President of the Russian Guild of Bakers and Confectioners Irina Eldarkhanova. She associated the historical maximum prices for cocoa beans with climatic anomalies and social processes on the hottest continent on the planet - cocoa beans are a product of limited growth. They grow on cocoa trees, which in turn grow in Africa and South America. It all depends on what is happening there: the area of plantations and working conditions on them, the size of the harvest (in 2023 there was a severe drought in Africa - Ed.), natural disasters. All this greatly affects the price of cocoa beans,” Eldarkhanova said. Until now, plant workers received $100. But Africa is developing, mortgages are developing, and people no longer want to work for $100 Irina Eldarkhanova, vice-president of the Russian Guild of Bakers and Confectioners At the Russian Biotechnological University, it was decided to radically resist the rise in price of chocolate. scientists opened their own chocolate factory right next to the department. We went there and found out how effective such production is. We also learned from experts what will happen to the ruble exchange rate and whether the dollar will become cheaper. Previously, experts predicted that the ruble would weaken significantly during the summer holidays. Source link Source link

Canned Fruit Fresh fruit is healthy, but canned fruit is often filled with high-sugar syrup.
