Why prices should go up? :O Food market over here for the most part does not depend on imports, sanctioned food imports that worth a few billions of euros won't make a dent in a 200 bln food market. Yes speculative price bumps are possible here and there, that will probably will be blown out of proportions, but even that only within relatively pricey food categories with high percentage of imports like wine. Russian economy is self-suficient in terms of food production of all major food categories outside probably certain types of meat, that could be overcomed by import diversification and ramping up local production eventually.
UPD. Yeah, I was right meat is the only major food category that has relatively high imports share, around 30%.
In other "news" we've finally managed to reach meat consumption levels of USSR back in 1990. I'm surprised :D
