Thus, agricultural producers reduced the cost of heating greenhouses, and cucumbers on store shelves in the region became almost 30% cheaper over the month. Greens, onions and garlic also decreased in price.
In general, if prices for vegetables are compared with March last year, then all of them have fallen in price, most significantly – cabbage, garlic and onions. The latter is transported in large quantities to the Krasnoyarsk Territory from Kazakhstan, where there is a record harvest this season.
Also, with the arrival of warmer weather, the demand for new bicycles and motorcycles increased. This allowed retailers to increase prices for these goods by an average of 2%, transferring rental, logistics and storage costs to them, experts say. At the same time, over the year, children's bicycles have fallen in price, adult models have risen in price, and motorcycles have remained virtually unchanged in price.
Gardening and vegetable gardening goods also became more expensive in March. For example, land for plants increased in price by 4%; over the year the growth was more significant – by 14%.
“March statistics show that inflation in the Krasnoyarsk Territory is slowing down, and this is a stable trend. We see classic seasonal dynamics: vegetables are becoming cheaper due to lower producer costs and good harvests from suppliers. This is positive news for residents of the region. At the same time, rising prices for bicycles, motorcycles, and gardening products reflect a seasonal surge in demand and the transfer of operating costs by businesses. These are temporary factors,” commented the manager of the Krasnoyarsk Branch of the Bank of Russia, Sergei Zhuravlev.
According to the regulator’s forecasts, this year price growth in the country will continue to slow down and drop to 4.5–5.5%, and in 2027 and beyond it will be close to 4% per year.
