In August, Ukrainians were able to save on vegetables and fruits, as their prices decreased by 12.7% and 10.2%, respectively.
However, experts warn that seasonal cheaper is coming to an end and in September prices are expected. At the same time, other products – meat, eggs, pasta – went up by 0.3-2.3%.
The forecasts for September indicate that vegetables of a new crop, which exceeds last year by 5.3%, will keep the rise in prices in other categories of goods. The “cheapness” of vegetables gradually disappears, and the overall inflation in the food group can increase.
According to the State Statistics Service, inflation in Ukraine in 2025 will remain at an increased level-about 9.7%, with a gradual decrease to 6.6% in 2026 and to the target 5% in 2027.
We will remind, in Ukraine last week recorded unexpected changes in the vegetable and fruit and berry market.
Also, the prices for meat and eggs were jumped one third a year.
