Between September 22 and September 28, the Ukrainian market saw significant price fluctuations for fruits and vegetables. Some products have risen significantly in price due to a reduction in supply, while other items, on the contrary, have fallen in price due to the seasonal supply of large volumes.
This is reported by EastFruit analysts, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
The biggest jump was in carrots: their price increased from 6-12 UAH/kg to 8-15 UAH/kg.
Beetroot also became more expensive – from 5-10 UAH/kg to 8-11 UAH/kg, despite the increase in supply.
Cucumbers also continue to rise in price, now they cost 25-75 UAH/kg, while tomatoes, on the contrary, have fallen in price – the minimum price has fallen from 12 to 8 UAH/kg.
Onions fell in price from 9 to 7 UAH/kg, and white cabbage leveled off – from 5-20 UAH/kg to 9-17 UAH/kg.
Peking cabbage also fell in price – from 25-35 UAH/kg to 20-35 UAH/kg, while broccoli rose in price to 40-65 UAH/kg, and cauliflower – to 25-50 UAH/kg.
Sweet peppers increased in price, but their range narrowed from 20-60 UAH/kg to 45-55 UAH/kg. Zucchini also increased in price – from 6-15 UAH/kg to 10-22 UAH/kg.
