Lower fresh produce price index in Ukraine
Fruit-Inform's fresh produce price index shows a further decrease of 2.7% in fruit and vegetable prices in Ukraine last week with lower prices being registered in all segments of the Ukrainian fresh produce market.
“Last week, fruit prices became 3.4% lower thanks to appearance of citrus fruits of new harvest in the Ukrainian market and lower prices of bananas”, said Ms. Tetiana Getman, Head of Fruit-Inform. “In addition, previously overpriced greenhouse vegetables had to become less expensive as Ukrainian consumers had immediately responded to overpricing by a sharp decrease in the demand, while importers – by sharply higher imports”.
Traditional vegetables kept on decreasing in price thanks to ongoing harvesting of red beets and carrots and the start of harvesting of late white cabbages.
