Ukraine: gradual decrease in apple prices
Prices of later apple varieties have been gradually going down in Ukraine due to their growing supply.
Now growers are ready to ship their produce at UAH 5-10/kg (USD 0.21-0.43/kg), depending on variety and quality. For comparison, prices often reach UAH 12/kg (USD 0.52/kg).
At the same time, growers managed to avoid a sharper fall in prices thanks to domestic wholesale companies' high demand for apples. It should also be noted that current apple prices are averagely 46% higher in Ukraine compared with the same period of the previous season.
