Ukraine: fruit prices down in October
According to Fruit-Inform, fruits have become 14.4% less expensive in Ukraine in October. Lemons led in the price decrease rates, as their prices went down by 30%.
Negative price trend was registered due to stabilization in the Ukrainian currency market and an increase in the supply of citrus fruits from the Northern Hemisphere countries. Apples also became less expensive due to their excessive supply in the Ukrainian market and the ban on imports of Ukrainian crops introduced by Russia.
As regards November, the majority of the market participants expected a further decrease in fruit prices on conditions that the Ukrainian hryvnia exchange rate is stable.
More detailed information about the Ukrainian fruit and vegetable market developments will be presented at the 11th International Conference «Fruits & Vegetables of Ukraine-2014», which is going to be held on December 8-9 in Kiev. The conference will be followed by the 4th International Trade Forum with about 30 Ukrainian retail chains and importers ready to conduct negotiations with fruit and vegetable suppliers on December 10.
