Greenhouse complexes forced up cucumber prices

According to the information provided by the price monitoring service of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" weekly journal, this week greenhouse complexes somewhat increased the cucumber prices under influence of worse weather conditions and expected demand growth. During two days an average wholesale price on greenhouse cucumber increased 33% in Kyiv. Practically all greenhouse complexes and private greenhouse cucumber producers speak about sales prices growth or about the planned price increase.

To the analysts' opinion, the price decrease in greenhouse cucumber can be expected only in a week, after March 8th. Mass supply of national greenhouse tomatoes can start mid March - early April.
