Explain the high sugar prices, Nekula urged. You don’t understand the market, union defends
Agriculture Minister Zdeněk Nekula has written to supermarket chains to explain the high prices of sugar on the shelves. According to statistics, the price of sugar has risen by 77 per cent between September and December last year. The minister said the high trade mark-ups were immoral. The Union of Commerce and Tourism of the Czech Republic considers Minister Nekula’s statement scandalous and intends to defend itself. It believes that the Minister has shown a fundamental ignorance of how the sugar market works.
