She said that power outages can really affect food prices, especially if there are long blackouts. According to him, logistics, storage and processing of agricultural products directly depend on stable electricity supply. However, the expert noted that a significant price increase should not be expected yet. During the war, the Ukrainian agricultural sector has already adapted to such challenges by introducing backup sources of energy and optimizing production processes.
Therefore, even with possible local interruptions, the system is generally ready to withstand the autumn-winter season without a sharp jump in prices. It will be recalled that the State Statistics Service reported that over the past year, Ukrainians have experienced a noticeable increase in the price of food products, especially those that form the basis of the daily diet. Before that, it was reported that summer deflation was recorded in the country — for the first time after a one-year break.
