Prices for greenhouse cucumbers in Ukraine have significantly decreased, and this is the first time for the last 1.5 months, analysts of the project EastFruit. The main factor for strengthening the downward price dynamics was a sharp increase in the market supply of imported products from Turkey. At the same time, vegetables from local greenhouses practically did not come to the market, which is due to the seasonal factor.
Thus, today the range of wholesale prices for greenhouse cucumbers in Ukraine varies within 70-100 UAH/kg ($1.70-2.42/kg), while a week earlier it was possible to sell at higher prices, 100-125 UAH/kg ($2.42-3.03/kg). At the same time, the majority of sellers of greenhouse vegetables do not exclude that in the coming weeks prices for imported cucumbers will continue to decline due to the gradual increase in the supply of these products on the Ukrainian market.
It should be noted that today imported cucumbers in Ukraine are on sale on average 24% more expensive than in mid-November last year.
