How is the state monitoring of prices for socially important food products carried out?

One of the tools to curb the growth of the cost of socially significant food products (SSFP) is the introduction of marginal prices.Currently, the list of SSFP includes 19 products: flour, bread, horns, eggs, buckwheat, rice, sugar, sunflower and butter, some types of meat (beef, chicken), dairy products (milk, kefir, cottage cheese), vegetables (potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage) and salt. Marginal prices are introduced by local executive bodies. Akimats calculate and approve the price for each product from the list of SSFP in the region. In the future, the compliance of the approved price with the actual price in stores is also monitored by akimats.
