Industry unions have reported an increase in prices for domestic and foreign transportation, as well as a lack of free transport. This was reported by Kommersant with reference to its sources.
According to various estimates, the rise in price ranged from 10% to 160%.
The head of the National Meat Association Sergei Yushin noted that the cost of transportation increased by 10-11% on average, but at the same time he pointed out that the dynamics of growth depends on the direction and the season. He also noted that there are problems with empty transport, including due to the players leaving the market.
The Potato Union announced a rise in the cost of transportation in a number of directions by at least 20-30%, in some cases twice. They explained this by the lack of refrigerated transport and the departure from Russia of drivers from the CIS countries.
The Association of Confectionery Enterprises "Askond" faced a rise in prices for transportation by 10-15% of directions within Russia and by 24-160% - on international ones.
The national association of freight road transport "Gruzavtotrans" pointed out that the price increase was the first in the last ten years and did not exceed 15%. At the same time, the president of the association, Vladimir Matyagin, stressed that this increase does not cover the increase in the cost of car maintenance and fleet renewal. According to him, the prices for transportation could rise by 100% if all drivers' costs were taken into account.
