Prices for meat and fish have risen in the Transbaikal region, while tomatoes and rice have become cheaper over the past week.

In the week of 22-28 July, food prices in Zabaykalsky Krai saw a mix of increases and decreases, with some items experiencing notable changes.

Fortunately, there were no sharp increases observed in food prices during this period. Here's a breakdown of the changes:

• Prices of bananas, onions, pasta made from high-grade wheat flour, polished rice, fresh cucumbers, boiled sausage, carrots, sugar, fresh tomatoes, and beetroot all decreased by varying amounts.
• The prices of potatoes and vodka also saw a decrease.

On the other hand, some food items experienced price increases:

• The prices of margarine, fresh white cabbage, pork (excluding boneless meat), beef (excluding boneless meat), buckwheat groats, cottage cheese, lamb (excluding boneless meat), meat conserves for baby food, fruit and berry conserves for baby food, dry milk mixes for baby food, wheat flour bread and bakery products, vegetable conserves for baby food, table salt, rye bread and mixed rye and wheat bread, sour cream, biscuits, chilled and frozen chicken meat, and frozen unprocessed fish and groats all increased.

It's important to note that these findings are based on the available data, and a more comprehensive search may yield additional information. If you'd like me to continue searching for regional reports or datasets, I can do so by looking at Russian sources such as the Federal State Statistics Service Rosstat, regional Zabaykalsky Krai government or ministry of economic development bulletins, local news outlets, and major retailers like Magnit and Pyaterochka.

Alternatively, if you have a dataset (spreadsheet or screenshots) of prices for the two dates, I can help you compute the increases or decreases and present them clearly. Let me know which option you prefer, and I'll proceed accordingly.

2. The decreases in prices of global-cuisines such as bananas, onions, pasta, polished rice, fresh cucumbers, beetroot, potatoes, and vodka have created opportunities for budget-friendly food-and-drink options.

4. For those who enjoy experimenting with new recipes and global-cuisines, the decreased prices of fresh tomatoes and carrots would make an excellent addition to their dishes.
