This is what a 30% currency devaluation does. I don't see why you're surprised.

Probably similar to us, we have held out on price rises for the last 18mths but finally started putting prices up about a month ago, a main product we sell has had to go up by 20% to get back our profit margin....

Simple facts are that chems prices are currently rising due to decreased demand, the cost base of a the manufacturing plants are largely fixed, and therefore need to be recovered against a decreased production volume = increased cost per unit, coupled with the variable cost base rising due to the increased cost of energy results in a vastly increased production price.
