Foodstuffs brought from Russia amount to 80% of the entire Crimean market. The so called Council of Ministers of Crimea made this report.
“As for the deliveries from Ukraine, then nowadays diversification of deliveries takes place and virtually 80% of products come directly from the Russian Federation, so we will depend on Ukraine less and less,” the “deputy minister” of the industrial policy of Crimea Konstantin Ravich said.
At the same time, the official saw rather cheap prices for food.
“We compare prices with our neighbors – the Krasnodar Krai and the Rostov region, and as for the prices, Crimea differs from those regions for the better. Prices for the main groups of goods are lower”, Ravich noted.
