Banana prices up in Ukraine
This week banana prices have grown by by 7-8% in Ukraine, reports Fruit-Inform. Now they vary between UAH 27-29/kg (EUR 0.83-0.89/kg), depending on quality and contract terms, against at least UAH 25/kg (EUR 0.76/kg) a week before.
Ukrainian banana traders explain positive trend by a rise in their purchase prices. It should also be noted that current prices of bananas are about 40% higher compared with the same period of the previous season. However, sellers have already reported of the price growth’s negative impact on their sales rates.
