The main objective of agricultural production, food and processing industry of the republic consists in the maximum ensuring requirement of the population of the Crimea and vacationers in high-quality, cheap, non-polluting food of own production, development of an export potential of the region and Ukraine as a whole.
For the solution of this problem in agro-industrial complex of an autonomy there are considerable natural, technical, resource and intellectual possibilities which are actively involved now and already yield positive results.
By the calculations which have been carried out by the Ministry of an agrarian policy of the Autonomous Republic Crimea, Republican committee of the Autonomous Republic Crimea on trade and protection of the rights of consumers already today the Crimean agricultural producers of various forms of ownership, the enterprises food and processing industry are already ready to provide in full the population, vacationers, employees of the large industrial enterprises with cheap, non-polluting and qualitative agricultural production and products of its processing. It is favorable both to consumers, and producers as allows to increase volume of production to strengthen finance and business economics, to increase quantity of workplaces, receipt of funds in the republican budget, to resolve a problem of economically unreasonable difference between level of a wholesale and vacation pay and retail prices in the markets of the Autonomous Republic Crimea.
Now retail prices in the markets of an autonomy and, in particular, Simferopol exceed wholesale selling prices of agricultural enterprises on main types of agricultural products and products of its processing in 1,5-2,5 times. So, retail price for cabbage averages 1,80 UAH. for kg or for 227 % to wholesale and holiday, on a beet – 2,50 UAH. or for 150 %, on carrots – 3,00 UAH. or 200 %, rice – 10,60 UAH. or for 33 %, egg – 6,50 UAH. for ten or for 55 %.
The main reason for economically unreasonable high level of retail prices – a chain of the intermediary structures which are carrying out purchase at direct producers, casing, transportation, packing, preselling preparation, direct sale. Thus each intermediary link puts in the services by nobody controllable rate of return that as a result leads to a resistant any reasonable explanation to growth of retail prices.
