UrBC, Yekaterinburg, March 23, 2018. The price of diesel fuel went up from RUR 41,300 to RUR 47,800 per 1,000 liters in the course of one year, acting Agriculture & Food Minister of Sverdlovsk Region Vladimir Grebnev said at Sverdlovsk Region Government committee meeting today.

‘According to Gazpromneft Regional Sales, the price of diesel fuel reached RUR 47,800 per 1,000 liters on March 15. I’d like to stress that exactly one year earlier, the price was RUR 41,300 per 1,000 liters,’ the official said.

Acting Minister is worried such a considerable price increase (+15.7%) will result in rising prime cost of agricultural produce.
