It will soon be possible for consumers to monitor changes in producer-processor-trader prices.
In this way, everyone will have a real idea of what the actual price of the products is. This will allow anyone interested to understand that the normal price per kilogram of yellow cheese, for example, is BGN 10-12, and not BGN 16, which is the value per kilogram of dairy product in the local groceries.
This became clear after statements by the Minister of Agriculture and Food Miroslav Naydenov. The website will be maintained by a specially created unit at the ministry.
The new government department will have the power to control suspicious deviations. The structure will be under the direct leadership of Boyko Borissov, it is clear from the words of the Minister of Food.
The practice is based on EU countries, most of which have stable mechanisms for monitoring food prices.
The good intentions are for these techniques to be successfully integrated on home soil, where it often happens that a certain product is declared at the border for pennies per kilogram, and subsequently sold in the markets hundreds of times above the declared value.
The site and the department will monitor mainly basic necessities, such as bread, cheese, sausages, cheese, sugar, oil, rice and more.
A summary of the movement of prices on the Bulgarian market in the last few months shows that dairy prices have risen the most, followed by cereals.
The good news is that Bulgarians will have the opportunity to find out about reasonable food prices through a specially opened line. The hotline will also accept complaints about dramatic price increases.
