The only cereal that has fallen in price is millet. Prices for it fell by 16% and now a kilogram of this cereal costs about 18 hryvnia.
Experts predict that in addition to groceries, black tea may rise in price.
The main reason for this is the coronavirus emergency in India. According to the Financial Times, now mass infections of the coronavirus have been recorded on 90 plantations.
Production managers sound the alarm and report that if the state does not take control of the outbreak, there will simply be no healthy employees left in the tea fields, that is, there will be no one to work.
Let us remind you that India is the world leader in tea cultivation. First, it exports the lion’s share of raw materials. Secondly, the best varieties. By the way, the dry weather, which now prevails in the country, has a very negative effect on the tea harvest.
