OREANDA-NEWS. August 11, 2009. The present sugar price has a speculative character, however a real price, according to experts, has to be not more than UAH 4.50 per kilogram. The Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko informed at a briefing during her working trip to Poltava region. 

The Head of Government noted in Ukraine there are two price extremes: sugar price at around UAH 3 in a period when there is no harvest of berries and fruit and UAH 7 in a season of conservation. At this, Yulia Tymoshenko stressed UAH 7 per kilogram is not the price of producers but a speculative one. The Premier underlined that after communication with sugar makers she found out that the price for now is UAH 4.50 per kilogram.

According to the Prime Minister, we should elaborate a smart pricing policy in sugar area. “We have to realize which wise pricing policy has to be so that to ensure interests of consumers and producers. And within nearest time already we will form such policy,” Yulia Tymoshenko underlined. The Premier informed that the Government would meet with heads of sugar enterprises with an aim to elaborate such joint line.
