Cheap meat like bone in the throat
According to Montenegrin media reports, prices for meat products in Montenegro reached a record low. During the past two months, the largest retail chains have reduced prices so much, buyers began to doubt their quality and safety. In particular, prices for pork have reached the lowest level since 2009.
However, this is not affected by buyers and retailers. Low meat prices create a number of problems for meat market participants, primarily for small family shops that can not compete with dumping retail chains. Hence - the loss of jobs, the inability to pay obligations to suppliers and producers.
One of the main reasons for the reduction in prices is the withdrawal of Western suppliers from Russia after the imposition of an embargo on the importation of foreign products by the Russian government.
By the way, in December 2015, Monstat claimed that consumer prices fell by 0.3% to the same period, while the cost of the consumer basket decreased by 0.2% by November of the same year and amounted to 806 euros.
