SMSR » Retail News » The Federal Antimonopoly Service of the Russian Federation has proposed a set of measures to reduce prices for baby food Published: 3-04-2022, 15:55 Views: 458 The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) proposes to reduce prices for baby food through price regulation and measures to support retail chains selling baby formula. As Izvestia found out, the reason for the development of a set of measures was the data obtained during the audit of PJSC Detsky Mir. In particular, the service considers it necessary to include formula milk in the list of goods, the prices of which are subject to regular monitoring by the state. In addition, the Federal Antimonopoly Service considers it important to consider the possibility of supporting retail chains in order to increase the availability of baby food. For example, to reduce the time for paying suppliers for the cost of products, to zero customs duties on raw materials and packaging, and to simplify the procedure for their import from third countries. Also, the antimonopoly agency believes that it is necessary to suspend the introduction of product labeling and include milk formulas in the list for continuous monitoring of pricing in the consumer market. According to the service, it is advisable to provide for measures aimed at providing specialized therapeutic nutrition for children with disabilities. Earlier it was reported that the authorities of a number of regions began inspections in connection with complaints about the increase in prices for children's goods. So, according to parents, the cost of diapers and milk formulas has grown especially noticeably. The information was also confirmed by the Russian authorities. So, according to Rosstat, canned vegetables for baby food by March 4, compared to February 25, rose by 2.4%, said in a conversation with Izvestia, Associate Professor of the Department of Finance and Prices of the Russian University of Economics. G.V. Plekhanova Maria Dolgova. Compared to December 2021, the price increase was about 4%. In addition, the State Duma proposed to introduce regulation of prices for food and children's goods. This was stated by State Duma deputy Alexander Khinshtein. On March 23, public figures and State Duma deputies asked the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the Prosecutor General's Office to apply administrative and criminal liability measures against Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo for the fact that foreign business in Russia, against the backdrop of the departure of many companies, provokes overpricing, hype, and shortages of goods and acceleration of inflation. The public figure cites P&G as an example. She owns the brands of washing powders and detergents Ariel, Tide, Lenor, Fairy, Mr. Proper, Pampers, Always, Discreet, Gillette, Head & Shoulders, Pantene, Blend-a-med, Myth. iz.ru | ActualOpinionsRetail News |
How much food costs in UK supermarkets
Prices in England bite and regular visits even ordinary cafes and fast food restaurants can literally be expensive get by. If you are staying in an apartment, homestay or residence and have access to the kitchen, then you can save a lot on food. In the article you get acquainted with food prices in England and find out where to go for oil and bread, and where - for delicacies and organic goods. At the end is a lexicon which will help you navigate the store, as well as find discounts and profitable offer.
Where to buy groceries in England
In the central part of any British city there are small supermarkets. If you are going to England for a couple of weeks, their range will satisfy you. These shops stock basic products like milk, bread and eggs, convenience foods, and a small selection of fruits and vegetables. Tesco, Lidl, Asda, Aldi, Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Morrison's, Cooperative are among the main UK supermarket chains.
In search of fresh vegetables and fruits, you can go both to the supermarket and to street vendors, whose stalls are usually located near the metro and in other busy places.
For a large-scale purchase of groceries for a week, the British, like our compatriots, go to the outskirts of the city to large shopping malls - retail parks. There you will find stores of the same chains as in the center, but already in the "extended version".
Another option to stock up on food, and at the same time enjoy the flavor of street trading, is to go to the market. All markets have their own schedule, so it’s better to find out the days and hours of work on the Internet or from locals in advance.
Despite the fact that corporations are pushing out private entrepreneurs, there are still independent shops in England, which are commonly called cornershop (literally: corner shop). They survive, as a rule, thanks to the round-the-clock mode of operation. You can always find high-demand goods in them, for example, milk, eggs, bread, drinks, tobacco. Prices in private shops are usually inflated, so the British go there only when necessary, for example, to buy a bottle of water, cigarettes or breakfast products.
The cheapest British supermarkets: Asda, Lidl, Aldi, Morrisons
Perhaps the cheapest supermarket is Asda. The stores of the chain are usually hypermarkets (in England the term superstore is used), and therefore are most often located on the outskirts of the city. Morrisons hypermarkets can also be found there. Their prices are also quite affordable.
In residential areas one can easily find one of the German Lidl or Aldi stores. Usually these are large supermarkets that have everything you need - from fresh products to household chemicals - at low prices. Both chains are focused on quickly serving a large flow of people, so don't even think about putting the "punched" goods into packages right away. Just put everything in the cart, pay and make room at the checkout for the next customer.
British supermarkets that are always nearby: Tesco, Sainsbury's, Co-op
Unlike Germany's Lidl and Aldi, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Co-op are UK-based, so their stores are found at every turn. On the periphery you can find large stores, and in the center there are mini-format supermarkets: Tesco Express and Sainsbury's Local. On the shelves you will find a daily assortment of fresh vegetables and fruits, ready-made salads and sandwiches, a large selection of semi-finished products, frozen foods and canned food, a basic set of cosmetics and household chemicals. Here you can find everything you need for cooking - oil, spices, sauces, etc.
Gourmet & Organic Stores: Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Whole Foods
The Waitrose network closely monitors its reputation and quality of service, but also sets appropriate prices. On the shelves you can find a good range of fresh organic products: fruits, vegetables, cheeses, meat products, seafood. The shops also have a good selection of alcohol, including English wines. Despite the pricing policy, Waitrose deserves the attention of even a budget buyer: here you can buy products at promotions and discounts without the risk of getting a low-quality product.
Marks & Spencer, or simply M&S, offers everything from spices to baked goods under its own label. On the shelves you will not find soda or chips of famous brands, but you will find an excellent selection of ready-to-eat food: fruit and vegetable salads, sandwiches, snacks, desserts, pastries and convenience foods. The company pays great attention to branding and packaging, which makes M&S products look very appetizing. Brits literally flock here for lunch. However, not everyone is sure that the prices at M&S are justified: many products in terms of their taste are no different from products of more affordable brands.
The American supermarket chain Whole Foods is aimed at wealthy British people who prefer organic products. Retail outlets are mainly located in prestigious areas of the capital. In stores you can find fresh dairy, meat, fish products, a huge number of healthy, dietary, vegetarian, vegan and hypoallergenic products.
