Prices for white cabbage in Ukraine have once again started to rise this week. According to the daily monitoring data of the EastFruit project, by the end of January, many producers have sold out most of their stocks. In addition, there are almost no medium and low quality vegetables left on the market.
Thus, today the selling prices for white cabbage in farms have already risen to UAH 34-40/kg ($0.81-0.95/kg), depending on the quality and volume of offered batches of products, which is on average 15% more expensive than at the end of the last working week. It is cabbage that again topped the rating with the highest prices among all items of borscht set in Ukraine!
Given the rapid decline in cabbage stocks in farms, farmers began to restrain sales of quality vegetables, which led to another price hike this week. This information is confirmed by wholesale companies, which note a general reduction of cabbage offers on the market.
It should be noted that today the prices for white cabbage in Ukraine are already on average 3.7 times higher than in the same period last year. At the same time, the majority of market participants do not exclude the possibility of further rise in prices for this product, and, in their opinion, the rate of price growth will accelerate as the stock of this product in households is reduced.
