Spice manufacturers are planning to raise the selling prices of their products. This is reported by "a href=" with reference to the corresponding letter to retailers.https://www.kommersant.ru/doc/7431931 ?tg">«Kommersant»lt;/a>.

In particular, one of the largest market participants, Kotani (the Russian division of the Austrian manufacturer Kotanyi), warned about the increase in selling prices from February 24. The company "Proxima" (the brand "Seasoning") also outlined plans to raise prices. The producers do not report on how much the prices of condiments will rise.

According to the Rusprodsoyuz association, consumer prices for spices increased by 10-30% in 2024. For example, black peppercorns rose in price by 9.3%, to 2 thousand rubles per kg.

Experts and manufacturers declare a significant increase in the cost of all raw materials last year. This is attributed to a decrease in yields due to weather disasters. Thus, due to the drought, the harvest of black pepper decreased in Vietnam and Brazil. In Guatemala, sweet pepper trees were destroyed by a hurricane. In India, the turmeric harvest has decreased due to rains. The heat in Egypt contributed to a decrease in the production of marjoram and basil, and in Turkey - oregano.
