In this year it is intended to fix the producer prices and to adopt the price regulation and trade margins of the empire. It is hoped that for the consumer as a whole there will be a reduction of the potatoes. Prices will not exceed those of the Sudetenland. In detail, the fixings are still pending.

The sugar industry has requested an increase of 50 Heller by 70 Heller instead of as planned. 6._B_i_e_r_i Schankbier, consumer price without war surcharge 1939/40 K 3.10 per litre 1940/41 K 3.70 11 11 Including beer tax, there is an increase in the beer price by 60 Heller per litre. 7._and_8._S_p_i_r_i _t_u_s_.
