The cost of lard in Ukraine in November reached a historical mark – 186 hryvnia (about 508 rubles) per kilogram. This is reported by “Focus”.
This is a record figure over the past few years, the newspaper notes. At the same time, the rise in prices began in October, when the salty product rose in price by 13 percent, reaching 166 hryvnia per kilogram. By November, the cost increased by another 20 hryvnia.
