Russia: increase of prices for Israel pepper

Prices for pepper imported from Israel increased again on the Moscow market, reported the traders. The main reason, according to the market participants, is deficiency of this produce on the market and at the moment, volumes of supply are extremely low.

Prices for red pepper increased to the level of 2.2 euro/kg, for other kinds - to the range of 2.6-3.1 euro/kg. However, specialists forecast price decrease due to expected large volume shipment.
