Kyiv, July 25 (Interfax-Ukraine) – There are no grounds to increase the price of the most popular types of bread in Ukraine, Agricultural Policy and Food Minister of Ukraine Mykola Prysiazhniuk has said.

According to him, the head of Khmelnytsky region, where the price of the most popular bread has recently grown by UAH 0.25, did not turn to him for help.

He also said that he is intending after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, July 25, to talk to the region head to clarify the situation.

“After the cabinet meeting I will talk to the governor of Khmelnytsky region, as today there are no reasons for any increase in bread prices. And during the harvesting campaign, pricing policy is not as high as producers would like it to be,” the minister said.
