Practically all domestic beer producers will raise prices for their own products.
This is due to the growth in the cost of beer production in Ukraine: prices for energy carriers, fuels and lubricants, barley and other raw materials have risen, and tax pressure has also increased - over the past year, taxes on water have grown 20 times.
This was reported by the general director of the "Sarmat" group, Serhiy Kalinin, without specifying how much the company's products will become more expensive.
As the head of the Public Relations Department of ZAT "Obolon," Oksana Pyrozhok, told the correspondent, starting from March 6 of the current year, "Obolon" raised prices for its beer products, which was primarily caused by the rise in the cost of energy carriers (gas) and raw materials. At the same time, the price increase was not uniform for the entire product line manufactured by the enterprise - prices for each individual beer brand rose differently.
Pyrozhok noted that the price increase affected all beer brands. However, company experts are tracking the market situation, monitoring competitors' activities, and will seek ways to level out prices for their products.
At the same time, at "SAN Interbrew Ukraine" (TM "Chernihivske"), the current situation was commented on as follows: "At the moment, beer prices have not been raised and have remained at the previous level." However, whether a price increase for products is planned in the future, the company did not specify.
