Veterinarians are switching to baby food – Newspaper Kommersant No.
The tightening of veterinary control measures for the import of products into the country, introduced since April, threatens the market for medical and baby food, warned the largest manufacturers Danone and Nestle. Today, imports in these categories account for up to 90% of products. Market participants will not have time to adapt to the new rules, this may lead to interruptions in supplies and shortages, they fear. The Ministry of Agriculture insists that the expansion of veterinary control is necessary to combat counterfeiting.

 Marina Balabanova, regional vice president for corporate relations at Danone in Russia and the CIS, told Kommersant about the threat to supplying the Russian market with medical and dietary foods, including for children. Danone is one of the largest baby food suppliers in the country (Nutrilon and Neocate brands).
 According to Ms. Balabanova, the risks are associated with the draft amendments to the decision of the Customs Union Commission, which tightens the requirements for the import of products subject to veterinary control. 
According to the draft (the document is published on the legal portal of the EAEU), such goods must be issued with veterinary certificates, import permits, and manufacturers must be included in the register of enterprises of third countries. The tightening of requirements is justified by the need to control the import of “cheese-like” products, in which animal fat is replaced with vegetable fat, continues Marina Balabanova. But other goods of the same customs group also fell under restrictive measures, including food products for therapeutic and preventive nutrition, in particular for children, as well as a number of biologically active food supplements, she lists.
 The decision will most seriously affect their supplies to Russia, while the share of imports of such goods, depending on the category, reaches 90%, Danone fears.
 
In addition, they add there, the restrictions will also affect the ingredients for their production. At the same time, most of the listed goods and raw materials do not contain components of animal origin at all and have never been regarded in the food industry as products of veterinary risk, says Marina Balabanova.
 This is an unnecessary and unjustified measure, agrees in Nestle (brands Nan, Nestogen, Gerber), now border control will be subject to categories that are not considered as bearing veterinary risks in any other country in the world. At the same time, the companies add, suppliers and importers of medical and dietary nutrition are not ready for the new requirements, which should come into force as early as April 11. The issuance of import permits for such products may take more than a year, which will lead to disruption of supplies, shortages and negatively affect the final consumer, echo the Association of European Businesses (AEB). In addition, the tightening of control will have a negative impact on the Russian food industry, adds Marina Balabanova.
 
Danone proposes changing product descriptions to exclude products with less than 50% animal raw materials, limiting control measures to veterinary certificates, and establishing a transitional period for the entry into force of the decision for at least 2.5 years. In the long term, it is advisable to return to the issue of revising the list and excluding therapeutic and dietary foods, as well as nutritional supplements from it, the AEB believes.
 The Ministry of Agriculture told Kommersant that the expansion of the list of objects of veterinary control for goods related to children's and medical nutrition products is aimed at ensuring safety and identifying counterfeit products. The measure will be implemented within the framework of electronic veterinary certification and will not affect conscientious suppliers in any way, the representative of the ministry promised. At the same time, the Ministry of Agriculture recalled that comments on the published draft decision of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC) can be made at the appropriate site.
 The EEC did not respond to Kommersant's request.

90,000 Russians warned about more than 15% more expensive baby food
- Business
 
- Rinat Tairov Editorial Forbes
 
  Prices for baby food in Russia could rise by more than 15%. The manufacturer of FrutoNyanya attributed the increase in cost to the rise in the cost of raw materials, logistics and packaging.
 Other food manufacturers will follow suit and also increase the cost, analysts are sure  
Russia's largest baby food manufacturer Progress (FrutoNyanya brand) warned retail chains of an average price increase of 15.5% in February, Kommersant reported citing a letter from the company's CEO Natalia Medunova. She attributed the rise in prices to the rising cost of raw materials due to the freight crisis, market expectations amid the pandemic and adverse weather conditions for crops, the newspaper claims.
 According to Medunova, fruit concentrates have risen in price by an average of 26.8-33.3%, fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables - by 30.9%, dairy raw materials - by 20%, buckwheat, oats and rice - by 19%. The cost of packaging components added 50-100% each, Kommersant added, citing a letter from the CEO. Shipping costs increased by 30%. Progress intends to raise prices for liquid and dry cereals, drinks, bread, desserts and other products.
 Progress products are subject to increased quality and safety requirements, which the company is not ready to reduce, Medunova herself told Kommersant.

Baby food, especially for young children, has a large share of imported raw materials, and it has become especially expensive due to the depreciation of the ruble, a source in a large food manufacturer told the newspaper. Retailers will most likely have to accept the terms of Progress, because it is a leader in its category and has great negotiating power, another Kommersant source said. The announced increase in selling prices may not cover the cost, but this is an important step to maintain profitability, said Alexei Popovichev, executive director of the Rusbrand association (which includes Procter & Gamble, Danone, Nestle and other manufacturers).
 The arguments of the FrutoNyanya owner are also valid for other market players, they will now also try to raise selling prices, Marat Ibragimov, a senior analyst at Gazprombank, predicted.
