Dramatic price decrease for green onion is observed on Ukrainian market
According to information provided by the specialists of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" journal, the vendors had to significantly decrease the sales prices for green onion in the beginning of this week. This trend was predetermined by a great growth of this product supply on market. Green onion was sold for $2.74-2.94/kg in the end of past week and up to $1.56-1.76/kg on Monday.
Many small greenhouse enterprises (the farmers and the private owners who grow produce in the film greenhouses) have not practically broken the production cycle in the winter period due to the warm weather in Ukraine. The energy costs were also relatively low. The vendors are talking about the oversupply of green onion; to the specialists' opinion, this fact will further force the price decrease on the market.
