Fruit and vegetable prices freeze in Ukraine

Fruit-Inform's fruit and vegetable index shows that the value of Ukrainians' fruit and vegetable basket did not change last week, after almost 14% decrease in the past 2 weeks.

“A significant increase in prices for greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes was compensated by a further fall of onion prices, while prices for potatoes and fruits remained stable”, Tetiana Getman, Head of Fruit-Inform, says. “We should also mention difficult weather conditions registered in most regions of Ukraine that, however, had no significant impact on prices”, the expert continues.

More detailed information about Ukrainian and Russian fruit and vegetable markets is available for subscribers of Fruit-Inform Weekly service package.
