The causes of such rapid growth were adverse weather conditions in the summer and fall of 2024. The heat and absence of rains have adversely affected the yield of many vegetables and fruits. This was reflected in terms of maturation of products and its quality characteristics.
According to the NBU, in January 2025, the rates of raw prices for raw products slowed down somewhat due to the warm winter and increasing imports. This helped to expand the supply of eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits.
However, the processed products continue to rise due to the high costs of manufacturers for raw materials, electricity, wages and logistics.
