In Ukraine, watermelon prices are falling rapidly. This is reported by the telemarathon "Unified News." At the end of July, watermelons became almost a third cheaper than last year – now a kilogram of this berry at wholesale prices costs 14 hryvnias. The reason for this is cited as the mass ripening of melons due to the heat. Operators of the agrarian market predict that watermelons may become even cheaper, but this year they may not be as juicy and sweet as usual, because the drought in the southern regions is taking its toll. According to Roman Petrov, Deputy Head of the Main Department of the State Consumer Rights Protection Service in Kyiv, when buying watermelon, one should follow safety rules. The fruit must be whole, with a firm skin, without cracks or damage. A yellow spot at the bottom is a sign that the watermelon ripened on the field. The expert also advises avoiding watermelons that are already cut or sold from cars and spontaneous locations. When buying watermelons in ...

Prices in Ukraine for plums have been rapidly decreasing for the fifth consecutive week. The main reason for the price drop is that the market is oversaturated, while demand remains quite low. Analysts from the EastFruit project noted that today, prices for plums are in the range of 15-40 UAH/kg ($0.36-0.96/kg), depending on the variety, quality, and volume of the batches, which is on average 29% cheaper than at the end of last week. It is worth noting that the hot, sunny weather contributes to the intensive ripening of the fruit, but it worsens their quality, which also exerts additional pressure on the selling prices. Meanwhile, despite the price decrease, today plums in Ukraine are on sale on average 50% more expensive than a year ago. At the same time, orchard owners do not rule out that prices will have to continue to be reduced. In Varus, the fruit is sold at 59.90 UAH/kg. In Novus, you can buy a plum for 49.99 UAH/kg, but this is a discounted price. Meanwhile, in Silpo, ...

In Ukraine, the peach season has begun, but the price of the fruit this year is "biting." The main reason for the price increase is unfavorable weather conditions, but it is not the only one. The RBK-Ukraine publication writes that, according to the Ukrainian Agribusiness Club (UACB), peaches cost 70-120 hryvnias per kilogram. According to UACB analyst Maksym Hopko, since August, fruits from Greece and Turkey have started to appear in Ukraine, but their price is quite high due to transportation costs. "A decrease in price is expected to be possible only after an increase in supply," explained the expert. The Ukrainian peach harvest suffered due to spring frosts. Only in the Odesa region, in early April, nighttime temperatures dropped to -6°C, which destroyed up to 90% of the crop in some areas. In addition, rains during the ripening period "hit" the quality of the fruit. The director of the agricultural firm "Green Technology LTD" in the Odesa region, Dmytro Ostapenko, reported ...
