The Brewers are ready to raise prices by 15%

Prices on beer will rise by 15%, although the manufacturers would rise in price by 25%. Plants are forced to raise prices due to the appreciated raw materials: January malt producers raised prices by half "because of the hot summer last year, Ukraine had a poor harvest of malt. Its producers have increased prices by 50%, so the price increase our production by 12-15% can not be avoided, "- said General Director of Miller Brewing Company Brendz Ukraine Igor Tikhonov. Tikhonov also added that the final price of beer depends on the cost of packaging, petrol, water, electricity, which grow in recent years. It is reported VGorode. "Oil is expensive, so the plastic bottle more expensive. Glass going up because of electricity. Although a clear explanation from the producers not, why not increase the cost of glass. There are elements of monopoly, there are large suppliers who simply dictate prices, "- said Tikhonov.
