Increasing Electricity Costs Will Inevitably Affect Grocery Prices

The rising cost of electricity will inevitably impact the price of grocery products, including grains and cereals. At Terra LLC, electricity accounts for 3-4% of the production cost structure of these products. Although this percentage may seem small, higher electricity tariffs will negatively affect production profitability.

Alexander Yasinsky, the commercial director and co-founder of Terra LLC, explained in an interview with AgroPortal.ua that even with the use of alternative energy sources like a steam boiler powered by grain waste, the company will feel the changes. This is particularly true for socially significant products such as grains and cereals.

Consequences for Producers

“Producers will be the first to incur losses from the increase in electricity prices, especially those businesses that operate honestly, pay taxes, and have officially registered employees,” emphasizes Yasinsky. According to him, regardless of whether the producer decides to raise prices or reduce profitability, it will still result in losses.

Expected Changes for Consumers

As a result, consumers may notice changes in the cost of grocery products within the next 2-3 months. Such price fluctuations could influence consumer choices, leading them to seek alternative products or producers.

Terra LLC continues to work on cost optimization and innovation to minimize the negative impact of rising electricity costs on the final product prices for consumers. However, as Yasinsky notes, the impact of increasing electricity tariffs is inevitable and requires thoughtful decisions from both producers and consumers.
