The relevant ministries have come to a certain agreement with sugar producers and confectioners' associations on the price of this food product.

This was announced by the HEAD of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy Daniil Getmantsev, Interfax reports.

“People's deputies proposed a decision to expand the quota for the import of sugar, which was not supported by the committee, despite the rather neutral position of both the Ministry of Agrarian Policy and the Ministry of Economy. Given that the state should interfere as little as possible in pricing and that we are not completely sure that such intervention is necessary, the deputies did not support this decision and did not recommend this bill. I have information that the ministries are now working with sugar producers and associations of confectioners who are consumers of this product, and they have come to a certain agreement on the price,” Getmantsev said.

He noted that indeed for several weeks the price of sugar in Ukraine was the highest in Europe.

“As a person who can read numbers, I can say that there are some signs of a certain collusion, withholding goods in order to obtain additional income. I am convinced that the Antimonopoly Committee should deal with this fact,” said Getmantsev.
