After a short period of stability, retail prices for potatoes in Ukraine have started to rise again. The main reason, according to experts, was the general reduction in the supply of potatoes in local farms, since most of them completed the sale of potatoes in the first half of the current season. This is reported by EastFruit. The current situation has already affected prices, which have increased to 20-30 UAH/kg since the beginning of this week, which is an average of 12% higher than at the end of the last working week.

Potato prices in Ukraine have increased over the past month. The vegetable may become even more expensive if there is no cheaper imported product. "Over the past month, potato prices in retail chains have increased by an average of about 2-3 hryvnias.

This week, selling prices for carrots in Ukraine began to decline. Producers are increasingly forced to sort through existing stocks of root vegetables, while the percentage of rejections is significantly higher compared to the same period last year. This problem is especially acute for those farmers whose storage facilities are not properly equipped. This is reported by EastFruit. According to price monitoring, producers are currently offering carrots for sale at 23-30 UAH/kg, depending on the quality and volume of the batch, on average 10% less than last week. Producers are forced to make price adjustments even in conditions of limited supply of quality carrots on the market due to very restrained demand. Wholesale companies and retail chains are ready to purchase these root vegetables only in small batches, explaining their decision by the extremely low rates of retail sales. Despite the decrease in the price of carrots, their prices are now on average twice as high as in mid-January last year.
