Today, the Cabinet of Ministers' resolution on setting maximum prices for meat comes into force. Pork and beef producers say they are not ready to cut prices by essentially half and are rushing to sell their goods before the government resolution takes effect, reports Deutsche Welle. \nAfter Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko reached a short-term agreement on maximum fixed prices with oil companies, a similar practice is now being applied to the meat market. \nHowever, both producers and meat sellers say they do not intend to comply with the premier's order to sell at half the price. So far, the head of government's idea of allocating special places for meat producers who supposedly could not get into the market is also not proving effective. At the so-called special counters, prices are no lower. \nAccording to the farmers, they will simply wait out the period after April 26, the date of implementation of the resolution on cheap meat, and refuse to trade. The first signs of precisely such intentions were observed in Kyiv last weekend - the supply of meat was unusually large. Therefore, it is quite likely that Ukrainian markets may empty out on the eve of Easter, since there is also no imported product at reduced customs tariffs in Ukraine. \n
