Further decrease in fruit and vegetable prices in Ukraine

Fruit-Inform's fresh produce index shows a further decrease in fruit and vegetable prices in Ukraine. Last week, fruits and vegetables became 4.2% less expensive. In such a way, fruit and vegetable prices have decreased by a third since early July.

“Last week, prices of almost all vegetables were rapidly decreasing”, Mrs. Tetiana Getman, Head of Fruit-Inform, says. “The most important contribution to a decrease in the fresh produce index was made by tomato prices (-30% week-on-week) and onion prices (-25% week-on-week). Despite already being record low, potato prices exhibited a tendency to reduction too”.
