Ukraine: further decrease in fresh produce price index

“The price index traditionally decreased thanks to lower prices of greenhouse vegetables. Prices of traditional vegetables and potatoes again started slightly going down”, says Ms. Tetiana Getman, Head of Fruit-Inform. “Fruits also became less expensive last week thanks to lower prices of early berries”.

Strawberry prices fell by 60%. Sales of sweet cherries also were more active; however, their prices were still relatively high. Nevertheless, the market analysts expect a fall in them already in the following week.
