However, this is only the beginning of the process, because the new realities of the supply of fruits and vegetables to Russia have not yet been taken into account in today's prices. This means that in the near future the price tags for vegetables and fruits will again have to be updated upwards.
During the week, the ruble lost about 7% of its value. Since at the moment the vast majority of fresh vegetables and fruits on the shelves are imported products, their cost in rubles increases in direct proportion to the depreciation of the ruble. But this is not the biggest problem - a much bigger problem is the sharp increase in the cost of logistics, the cost of insuring any trade with Russia and the growing reluctance of many suppliers to send products to Russian counterparties on credit.
Since the transit time of fruit and vegetable products to Russia, tk. Now significant volumes are coming from the countries of the Southern Hemisphere, often stretching for a month or more, already today exporters are adding new high levels of risk to the price of their products. At the same time, they prefer to supply products to alternative markets or start selling them to Russia at a much higher price than to other countries of the world.
Along with the devaluation of the ruble, provoked by the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine and new encroachments on its sovereignty, a new wave of international sanctions against the Russian Federation began. Traders understand that this can lead to complication and even impossibility of international settlements when trading with this country, so they are actively looking for alternatives to this large sales market. If Russia sends troops to Ukraine, and the permission to use Russian troops outside the country has already been officially given, then the prices for vegetables and fruits can rise significantly and become unaffordable for a significant part of the country's population.

Russian supermarkets are actively updating price tags for fresh fruits and vegetables. The rapid devaluation of the ruble in recent days, combined with an unusually high shortage of vegetables and potatoes on the market for this period of the year and their low stocks, are forcing retailers to raise selling prices for products.
