Cep to sell $18-24/kg in Poland

The experts of ""Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits" weekly" inform, the period of wild mushroom picking started in Poland. The prices are quite high this season; however, the large-scale picking process has not started yet. The wholesale prices for cep fluctuate $18 to $24/kg.

High prices are the result of less people interested to pick mushrooms for sale, as they have rather good alternative sources of profit. Also, to the opinion of the analysts of "Agrooglyad: Vegetables and Fruits", high prices for cultivated mushrooms (champignon and oyster mushroom) are also stimulating the price growth for wild mushrooms.
