White cabbage prices down in Crimea, Ukraine
White cabbage prices have been decreasing in Crimea, Ukraine, according to Fruit-Inform daily price monitoring.
Prices have fallen by 10-15% over the past weekend and now vary between RUB 18-30/kg (USD 0.25-0.41/kg) at Krymskiy Privoz Wholesale Market, Simferopol. For comparison, they often reached RUB 35/kg (USD 0.48/kg) in the end of the previous week.
Fruit-Inform analysts connect a fall in prices with an increase in white cabbage supply in the Crimean market: local growers have already started harvesting middle-late and late varieties. In addition, Ukrainian produce accounting for the largest share in white cabbage sales in Crimea has also become less expensive.
At the same time, despite a fall, white cabbage prices are still 4.2 times as high as registered in the same period of the previous season.
