Poland: white cabbage prices almost double over two weeks

For the present, sellers offer white cabbage at 0.14-0.17 euro/kg, an increase of 17-21% year-on-year thanks to high demand for Polish produce in Belarus, where middlemen then resell it to Russia.

As Fruit-Inform has previously reported, white cabbage prices have already reached 10-year high in the Russian Federation. Only last week prices grew by 15%.

Russian wholesalers make attempts to compensate shortage of domestic supply by imports. They actively purchase Ukrainian produce through Crimea and Polish white cabbage through Belarus.
