Russia's Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has sent three major chicken meat producers requests stating its intentions to analyze the reasonableness of the prices set.
In the message of the press service of the department says that we are talking about such producers as: PJSC "Cherkizovo", "GAP Resources" and JSC "Prioskolye". These enterprises have a collective dominant position in the commodity market.
That is, the point is that these companies jointly have the ability to influence the competitive environment by occupying a dominant position.
The FAS explained that if they abuse this position and introduce "monopolistically high prices", these companies will be subject to measures, including negotiable fines.
Earlier, we reported that the head of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, said that the increase in chicken prices was speculation.
