According to him, “the check showed that apples sold by Crimean producers to retail chains for 12 rubles are already on the shelves for up to 70 rubles.”
“This is an unacceptable situation. Let's ask the tax office to check how taxes are paid on these markups. Retailers must comply with the law and have a conscience,” Aksenov noted.
