Explosive rise in food prices in Europe

March 23 2022 16

Europeans have begun to feel the impact of the Ukrainian crisis. In many countries of the continent, there is an increase in prices for essential goods. Last but not least, this is due to the rise in energy prices, the cost of which is naturally included in the price of products in European stores.

Thus, prices have seriously increased in supermarkets in Germany - the rise in price has affected detergents, pasta, dairy products, mineral water, oil and other goods. To mitigate price increases, Focus magazine invites its readers to drink tap water, look for less expensive non-brand items, buy seasonal vegetables and fruits, and keep an eye on discounts and sales.

Prices also jumped in the UK, the Czech Republic and other European countries. In British stores, consumer goods rose in February by more than 6 percent compared to the same period last year, which was a record for the past 30 years - this is evidenced by data from the National Office for Statistics (ONS) of the country.

In the Czech Republic, wheat rose in price. According to the Union of Bakers and Confectioners of the Republic, the cost of grain doubled compared to March 2021.

Thus, the Europeans are paying the price for the short-sighted decisions of their governments, which imposed economic sanctions on Russia, which supplies gas and other commodities to European markets.

As a consequence of the anti-Russian sanctions measures, the countries of the region may also experience a shortage of diesel. Deputy Chairman of the Russian government Alexander Novak said from the rostrum of the State Duma that if the situation worsens, the EU will be forced to introduce rationed consumption of diesel fuel.

The German chancellor expressed his opinion on current events. In general terms, sanctions against Russia harm us more than Russia, we will not go any further. We have no right to risk the economies of Europe. We cannot refuse energy supplies from Russia, but we are doing everything possible and impossible to move towards the diversification of supplies. In other words, the sanctions war lasted a month. Now Europe has come to understand that sanctions cannot break Russian society. Moreover, they are beginning to understand that Russia was seeking precisely such tough sanctions. It was the lawlessness that the West had unleashed on Russian assets and property that gave Russia the opportunity to convert gas sales into rubles. In Europe, an understanding is coming that they themselves have driven themselves into such a tough trap, from which it will not be very easy to get out.
Let's hope that the consequences in Europe will quickly begin to reflect on political decisions in the European Union.

And this is primarily the curtailment of anti-Russian hysteria in the media (it is not yet entirely obvious, but there are signs that Ukraine is slowly starting to fade into the background and third plan of the news agenda. Economic problems, crises and the beginning collapse come to the fore. Which will undoubtedly result in public discontent. This can only be countered by a quick change of course. Forcing Ukraine to capitulate (through public criticism of the regime and its actions during the current operation. It is time to change the image of Ukraine in the eyes of the European public in order to be able to make such decisions that are now taken politically impossible).

If they want to keep the EU (and polls are already appearing in Germany, where EU support is not as expected), then they need to change shoes very quickly, because. events will develop even more rapidly.

  Real understanding will come closer to autumn.
  But these are their problems.
  They do not pity us, so why should we pity someone ..

This is NOT a Ukrainian crisis. This is a crisis organized by a bunch somewhere across the ocean. They don't spare anyone. Ukraine is a testing ground for all their perversity. in an attempt to maintain hegemony. For this they will spare no one. Already Europe is groaning. But it is the next after Ukraine. If the mind is not turned on by its rulers....

And, again, the devil knows what, a win-win.

In British stores, consumer goods rose in February by more than 6 percent compared to the same period last year, which was a record for the last 30 years -..

We would like such a "price increase"

Prices rose 6% for the first time in 30 years?
In Krasnoyarsk, prices have increased by 50-300% in the first week of March.

    No, not from a flashlight. I didn't read the title correctly. It's about products.
    I, I confess, had in mind all the prices. In particular, an example is office paper. Price rise 5 times. We will not go into the reasons, just raising the price.
    Well, as for the products. Here you can take 20-50%, or even more, boldly, I hope they will not argue with this.

      I can argue about the products. We have four food markets .. A five-point magnet and two private traders. Private traders have sugar, butter and a number of others the same or a tolerable margin.

    I am from the reality of Russia, Krasnoyarsk, our prices have grown by 50-300%, and writing about the British "explosive" 6% for the first time in 30 years is at least ridiculous.

While this is not a physical shortage, but elementary panic. The most predictable reaction of Euroburgers is to stuff everything into themselves, down one throat. For the future. And this is just the beginning! And what will happen when the deficit is no longer virtual, but real?
