The Romanian Minister of Agriculture, Florin Barbu, suggested that the cap on commercial markups could be extended from basic food items to all food products in stores. This proposal requires government analysis, especially in light of rising inflation rates. Barbu emphasized the need to assess inflation data before making decisions about potential changes to the current pricing mechanisms, which are set to expire at the end of the year. He highlighted the importance of maintaining consumer demand to support the food industry, warning that decreased consumption could harm production and employment in processing units.
