Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev today ordered the government in Moscow to take all necessary measures to prevent an "unreasonable" rise in food prices.

"I would ask you to monitor the situation in the food markets in cooperation with the Federal Antimonopoly Service and the police. We need to work together with the owners of trade chains, manufacturers, intermediaries, and not allow an unreasonable jump in food prices," said Medvedev.

Due to the situation with a large drop in the value of the ruble and other factors that pushed up food prices, Medvedev also announced a meeting with Russian Minister of Agriculture Nikolai Fedotov.
