Law of the city of Moscow No. 23 dated May 15, 2002 "On the subsistence minimum in the city of Moscow" defines the concept of "consumer basket" - this is the minimum set of food products, as well as non-food goods and services that a person needs to maintain health and ensure his life. Thus, it can be clarified that the consumer basket is usually used to calculate living wage, as well as to compare integral food prices in different regions of a particular country.

The proposed draft law updates the volumes of consumption provided for in the consumer basket.
Given the need to improve the quality of nutrition, it is proposed to increase the nutritional and biological value of the consumer basket through:
an increase in the volume of consumption of meat and meat products, fish, milk, fruits and berries compared to the current norms;
reducing consumption rates for bread products (bread, pasta, flour, cereals, legumes) and potatoes.
It is proposed to increase the average consumption rate per person per year in the following amounts:

fish and fish products - by 15%, including for children - by 25%;
fresh fruit - by 31%, including for pensioners - by 62%, for children - by 27%;
milk and dairy products - by 10%.
The proposed minimum food sets are an average model of nutrition, balanced in terms of essential nutrients and energy. The energy value of the minimum set of food products per person is 2268 kcal per day on average (including for working age - 2418 kcal per day, for pensioners - 2000 kcal per day, for children - 2062 kcal per day), which corresponds to those developed by specialists in the field of nutrition, the norms of the physiological need for nutrients and energy for workers with very light and light physical activity, children and pensioners (Appendix 1).

Taking into account that the list of non-food products consumed by the population (clothing and footwear, bed linen, cultural, household and household goods, essentials and sanitation), as well as the terms of their wear and tear over the past period, have not changed, their minimum set in natural units of measurement , included in the consumer basket, remains in the same volumes of consumption.
The norms of consumption of housing and communal, household and transport services provided for in the consumer basket in the proposed version of the consumer basket do not change, since they allow to meet the minimum needs of the main socio-demographic groups of the population in housing, organization of life, and movement.

The minimum set of services includes cultural services in a separate line in pursuance of the order of the President of the Russian Federation of April 3, 2005 N Pr-512 on ensuring access for low-income citizens to cultural values.
