Apple prices in Ukraine have fallen over the past week, but the price increase may resume under certain conditions.

Last year, Ukraine exported 200 tons of pears. This is a small amount, but it signals that the start of Ukrainian pear exports is given. This was said by the fruit and vegetable market analyst of the EastFruit project Yevgeny Kuzin, AgroTimes reports. “The pear has always remained the younger sister of the apple, but recent investments in pear orchards are making themselves felt,” the expert noted. In particular, Ukrainian pears went to Greece, Romania, and Georgia. Also, according to Yevgeny Kuzin, last year Ukraine exported more than 100 tons of hazelnuts. This is a certain achievement, the expert believes, because hazelnuts in Ukraine have always been an import category, but in recent years, thanks to the development of domestic hazelnut farming, Ukraine has its own export.

Ukrainian apples have become quite popular among consumers in Tajikistan, where fresh apples in branded packaging from Ukrainian gardeners can often be seen in wholesale and retail markets. SEEDS writes about this. Thus, among the brands whose boxes of apples can often be seen in Tajikistan, the Ukrainian brand Bukovita from the Dniester Gardens company from Chernivtsi region stands out. However, according to official statistics, Ukraine has not supplied a single kilogram of apples to Tajikistan in the last five years. So there can be only one explanation - they are re-exported from third countries, for example, Uzbekistan. Red apples in black boxes from the Bukovita brand have been popular in Tajikistan for several years now, and, according to traders, they sell very well. Therefore, the demand for them remains high.
