Medvedev calls for cracking down on food price hikes.

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Wednesday asked the Agriculture Ministry and the Federal Antimonopoly Service to crack down on unjustified food price hikes, ITAR-TASS reported.

“We should crack down on those who are whipping up the hysteria (on the food products market),” he said, addressing Agriculture Minister Yelena Skrynnik. “You and the antitrust authorities have the necessary tools.”

Medvedev said the government should inform the public about the existing grain stocks to prevent speculation.

Later on Wednesday, Medvedev urged governors to keep food prices, including buckwheat prices, under control.

“There are no grounds for increases in buckwheat prices,” he said. “This is (caused by) speculators. We have enough buckwheat.”
