Prices for Farm Products

Prices are based on average cost of producing a commodity. The price also includes the net profit on the item.

There are the following categories of prices for farm products purchase, delivery and farm market prices.

Purchase prices are set for farm products sold by farms or farmers to the state and co-operative organizations; delivery prices - for produce of state agricultural enterprises delivered to the state. Purchase and delivery prices vary according to territorial belts. There are some seasonal prices for farm products too. When potatoes, vegetables and fruits are in season, when there are big supplies of those items, they are sold at lower retail prices. In winter, quite naturally, they cost more, for it is necessary to cover storage expenses.

Farm market prices are governed by the law of supply arid demand. The farms and their members sell surplus stocks on the markets; meat, milk, eggs, potatoes, vegetables, fruits, etc. As distinct from state and co-operative trade where fixed prices exist, goods are sold on the farm markets by mutual agree­ment of the people involved.
