Russia has also been affected by the rationing of some of the basket products.
In the Far East Maritime Region, supermarkets have set customer limits of two kilograms for sugar, flour, rice, buckwheat, salt and pasta; two liters of vegetable oil and three jars of baby food.
The rationing was reported by the Russian business daily Kommersant.
In Khabarovsk, a city in that region, there was panic over the purchase of sugar and it disappeared from the shelves of many supermarkets, reports a local news agency.
However, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Viktor Yevtukhov insists that “there is no problem with sugar”, as Russia produces enough for itself and has stopped exporting sugar.
The St. Petersburg supermarket chain Vkuster told Kommersant that it was also limiting sugar sales to 2 kg per customer.
Last week, the National Statistics Office Rosstat said sugar prices had risen nearly 13%.
Sanctions imposed on Russia’s occupation of Ukraine have severely weakened the ruble and spurred inflation, pushing up food prices.
