The prices rose 140 percent this year, and even more in some regions, Koshman noted, adding that the association made a statement that such a price rise jeopardized national interests.
Prime-Tass cited the director of the concrete production network management, Viktor Gubanov, as saying that the prices rose from 3,600 to about 7,000 roubles a tonne over a year. According to Gubanov, the 7,000-rouble level is unlikely to be exceeded next year.
