The prices and on French, Italian and Spanish wines have decreased. "Decrease has occurred proportionally to reduction of tariff duties, on the average somewhere for 10 grivnas for a bottle, - Maria Sajfudinova, the director for company" Винфорт "marketing tells. - On some wines most interesting to us, we have lowered the price even more. For example, if the Chilean wines cost before 56 grivnas, now their price - 37 grivnas". Thus importers reduce the prices and for production which has been delivered under the old, overestimated duties." About 90 % of production which now is in our warehouses, has been delivered to the introduction of Ukraine into the WTO. Now we reduce the prices at own expense, first of all - to involve the buyer in new, cheaper marks of foreign wines ", - the head of department of sales of company" Mark "Jury Serebrov speaks. The low prices a month later Reduction of prices
for wine import th has occurred after May, 16th when Ukraine became a member of the WTO. The Supreme Rada initiated a delay of introduction of new duties till January, 1st, 2009, however president Victor Yushchenko ветировал this bill. As a result the duty on wine has decreased with 2 to 0,3 euros, and on cognac, граппу, gin and other strong alcoholic drinks - with 7,5 to 3,5 euros for 1 litre. Thus importers of alcohol name what to bring full updating in cost of import production do not give supermarkets." Supermarkets not so quickly react to change of the prices as it would be desirable. Trading networks do not wish to spend revaluation of those goods which already costs on a regiment, after all for them it is additional work ", - Sajfudinova complains. As she said, reductions of prices on all ruler of imported production can be expected in September-October.
More optimistic forecast - at Jury Serebrova. In its opinion, reduction of prices should be finished throughout a month. Repartition of the market Drop in prices on wines from a New World and the Western Europe approaches will press first of all the Moldavian and Georgian manufacturers who occupied more than half of price segment of wines in cost of 30-50 grivnas." Competition at Georgian and Moldavian wines practically were not, after all because of high duties imported wines cost more than 50 grivnas ", - Serebrov confirms. Now, as he said, Chilean or French wines under the price will be made even with Georgian, and on quality they above. The competition and for the Ukrainian manufacturers will amplify." Some domestic table wines now stand about 30 grivnas. I do not understand, such high price whence undertakes, after all ordinary table wine in Europe costs no more than 2 euros for a bottle ", - Jury Serebrov continues. Understand it and home producers. According to the general director of group of companies" Unions-viktan "Andrey Ohlopkova, the market of wine after the introduction of Ukraine into the WTO will be subject to the greatest fluctuations in comparison with the markets of other kinds of alcohol." Duties on import production have started to decrease sharply that will complicate a competition of the Ukrainian manufacturers to foreign wine makers. On the Ukrainian market qualitative inexpensive European wines to which will compete very difficult "come, - Ohlopkov confirms. |
