leman:
at the bazaar is not going down, they are still taking
That's why it's not going down, because demand exceeds supply...

Do you think that if they stop buying meat, it will get cheaper?
 
sllawa3:
Because demand exceeds supply...

But few people buy our rouble on the forex market, and why is it not falling?

 
Of course, no one would buy tangerines in Krasnodar... They cost kopecks there and are dumped in tonnes in landfills (not enough landfills) but they pile up in fields and along roads... But potatoes are very expensive there... rotting somewhere else... the same goes for meat in prosperous villages... Watson, supply and demand are unlikely.
 
Tantrik:

But not many people buy our ruble on the forex market, and why isn't it falling?

The ruble is not a currency... its value is not formed by the market (demand) but is set by the central bank of russia...

Potatoes rot somewhere else as well... in another region... The same goes for meat which is hardly bought in prosperous villages... Watson, it's supply and demand.
Isn't it the cost of production, but the demand?
 
leman:
is it not the cost of production, but the demand after all?
Yes... demand first... whatever the cost of production
 
sllawa3:
the ruble is not a currency. its value is not formed by the market (demand) but by the central bank of russia.
So, the ruble is not even a currency, of course, fish is not meat.
 
sllawa3:
Yes... demand first... whatever the cost
It's important for the manufacturer to recover at least part of the cost if there's no demand... than to just throw away the product that nobody wants...
 
sllawa3:
Yes... demand first... whatever the cost
So you think that a taxi driver, for example, will haul for half the cost of fuel for a trip just to keep his job if the demand is there?
