Fruit-Inform increases its 2011 white cabbage production forecast for Ukraine
After the survey of producers from all Ukrainian regions, Fruit-Inform's analysts increased their 2011 white cabbage production forecast for Ukraine. The production forecast was increased by 5% that means that Ukraine will harvest 23% more white cabbages in 2011 than in the previous year. Moreover, white cabbage production and surplus in the market will be record-breaking over all history of independent Ukraine.
Current real wholesale prices for white cabbages average UAH 0.40-0.60/kg (EUR 0.04-0.06/kg) in most regions of the country. However, produce is rather difficult to be sold even at these prices. Moreover, the majority of big producers have not even started their harvesting of late white cabbages which account for the most important part of the white cabbage supply in the market from November to May.
More detailed information about Ukraine's fresh produce production and price prospects in the current season is available in the updated fundamental study “Fruit & Vegetable Market of Ukraine – 2011. Results and Forecasts for the Next Season”.
The forecast for the following season will be announced at the Eighth International Conference “Fruits & Vegetables of Ukraine – 2011. New Exporter”. The event will take place in conjunction with Fresh Produce Ukraine 2011 Fair which will be held at IEC, the most up-to-date exhibition center of Ukraine in Kiev, from November 30 to December 2, 2011.
