The three months will expire in early May, but it is not yet known whether the government plans to extend the food price stop. At the same time, Raskó György, the agricultural economist interviewed by the Agricultural Sector, expects the price stop to continue, even with different conditions and prices, as there have been recent price increases for the food products that cannot be passed on to consumers. According to the expert, in particular, it is necessary to prepare for the jump in the price of cooking oil, chicken breast and pork leg in the next period. (agrarszektor.hu)
