Let's talk numbers. Consider the example of cheese. According to the President of group of companies "Caboc" Dmitry Medvedev, recently published on the portal of the radio station "Echo of Moscow", one kilogram of cheese may not be cheaper 732 rubles. These included:

11 litres of milk a minimum price of 30 rubles per liter = 330 rubles;

- the leaven, the cost of materials, packaging, production costs and staff salaries = 70-100 rubles;

the manufacturer's profit = 10%;

loss during the ripening of cheese (will take 2-3 months for this), add another 3%;

- margin trading networks = 30%;

- distributor profit = 20%.

Total: 732 rubles for one kilogram of the usual cheese Matures only 2-3 months.

But! As the results of inspections "Roskontrol", more than 60% of cheeses in Russia is counterfeit. Accordingly, for this money we do not buy French and Italian quality, which there literally is considered to be gold, and a mixture of milk of unknown origin with a "magic powder" instead of the starter culture and vegetable fat, which should not be present in the cheese at all! And the producers themselves at this time complain about the shortage of milk in the amount of 33 million litres daily while the number made of cheese somehow increases across the country!

It means falsification of cheese is beneficial to producers of milk, because, as shown by the calculation of the real cost and stats of the defenders of consumers, to identify pseudo-cheese on the shelf at a price certainly impossible, and the expertise of ordinary consumers League.
