World meat industry news

In Magnit, Dixie and Megamart stores, a number of socially significant products are sold with zero trade margins. This was reported by the FAS.

Recall that in July 2021, the Federal Antimonopoly Service granted the request of JSC "Thunder" (Magnit retail chain) for the acquisition of the Dixie retail chain and Megamart stores, subject to full compliance with the order an agency that provides for a number of strict restrictions and requirements. The organization is obliged to report quarterly on the fulfillment of the requirements of the department.

Thus, according to the next report received from the company "Thunder", the stores of the retail chain have complied with voluntarily undertaken obligations to establish zero margins from the purchase price of certain items of a number of "first-price goods". The FAS will continue to monitor the execution of all points of the regulation by retail chains.

The "first price goods" include chicken meat (carcasses of chickens, chickens, broilers) according to GOST 31962-2013, pasteurized drinking milk 2.5-3.2% fat content according to GOST 31450-2013, bread and bakery products made of wheat, rye and a mixture of rye and wheat flour with a shelf life of less than 10 days.
