Food products are under special control. In March, there was an increase in prices for some vegetables and fruits, as well as a seasonal decrease in the stocks of Belarusian fruit and vegetable products. Socially significant goods are especially emphasized. Since March, the growth in prices for them is limited, which is no more than 0.2% per month.
The rise in food prices is a worldwide trend. Pandemic and frequent droughts hit the global economy. The price index of the UN Food Organization has been growing for nine months in a row, approaching a seven-year high. So, in February alone, world food prices jumped by almost 2,5% compared to January.
