Senator Alexander Dvoynykh found the reason for the rise in prices for butter and explained what needs to be done to reduce them.
The head of the Federation Council's agricultural committee believes that the excitement created around this product plays a significant role in this situation.
Dvoynykh suggested stopping talking about the prices of butter, RIA Novosti reports.
In his opinion, excessive attention to this issue only creates additional demand and drives up prices.
The senator emphasized that the relevant departments are already working to resolve this problem.
In addition, Dvoynykh outlined a strategy that will help put an end to this issue.
Firstly, it is necessary to increase the production of raw milk.
The Ministry of Agriculture is already discussing this issue with the regions, the head of the Federation Council committee reported.
Secondly, Russia needs to increase imports of butter from friendly countries to saturate the domestic market at the current stage.
