In Ukraine, there is a significant increase in prices for greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes. At the end of last week, the cost of cucumbers increased by 10% and tomatoes by 13% compared to the previous week.
About it reports the analytical portal “Eastfruit”.
Currently, Ukrainian greenhouse plants offer cucumbers at a price of 85 to 125 UAH per kilogram. The main reason for the rise in price is the reduction of supply on the market, because the sample volumes of products in local greenhouses have decreased significantly.
In addition, the import of cucumbers from Turkey has decreased to a minimum, which also affected the situation.
Nevertheless, the cost of greenhouse cucumbers remains 10% lower than in the same period last year. Experts predict that prices can begin to decline in the near future by increasing the supply from Ukrainian manufacturers.
Regarding tomatoes, their price at the end of the week was 85-95 UAH per kilogram. Experts explain this by reducing the import of Turkish tomatoes because of the seasonal factor.
Market participants say that tomato prices are already 22% higher than in the same period last year. If supply from Turkey does not recover in the near future, the cost may increase even more.
At the same time, mass implementation of local greenhouse tomatoes is expected not earlier than mid -April.
Recall that in December 2024, the average prices for food and soft drinks in Ukraine increased by 15.2% compared to December 2023.
We have also recently reported that in the Ukrainian primary market, housing prices increased by 2024 by 15%, accelerating the growth compared to 2023, when the figure was 12.8%.
