俄罗斯白砂糖的采购价格从2008年12月开始急剧上涨,从2009年1月份起已上涨了40%,涨幅是空前的。根据莫斯科市长尤里·卢日科夫2009年2月18日签署的命令,莫斯科政府部门允诺在2009年4月底之前从首都粮食储备中给商店提供724t白砂糖。可是,这还不到莫斯科全市居民1天的砂糖需求量。 The purchase price of white granulated sugar in Russia has risen sharply since December 2008 and has risen by 40% since January 2009, an unprecedented increase. According to an order signed by the mayor of Moscow Yuriy Luzhkov on February 18, 2009, the Moscow government department promised to supply 724 tons of white sugar to the stores from the capital reserve by the end of April 2009. However, this is less than the amount of sugar demanded by residents of Moscow throughout the city for one day.
