A chart shared by Prune602, tracking Russian fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) prices over the past few years. This largely tracks the inflation in prices of vegetables, fruit, and dairy.

What it shows, predictably over the years, is a drop in prices as the harvests come in.

This year, of course, is the line at the top of the chart. And, as you can see, it's gone up over harvest time, and shows no sign of falling.

Poor harvests should, in fact, drive up prices significantly by the holidays.
