This week prices for apples in Ukraine have resumed their growth, according to analysts of the EastFruit project. According to the producers themselves, the next increase in prices in this segment is due to a reduction in the supply of apples of winter varieties in the domestic market. At the same time, the demand from buyers remains quite high, which stimulates the rise in price of these products in the Ukrainian market.
To date, apples are offered for sale in the range of UAH 17-25/kg ($0.41-0.61/kg), depending on the variety, quality and volume of the offered batch, which is on average 13% more expensive than at the end of last week. Current prices for apples in Ukraine are still the highest at least for the last 7 years of monitoring!
At the same time, the supply of quality apples on the market is rather limited, as many producers prefer not to hurry with sales, and the entire volume of winter apples is put in storage in the hope of more intensive price growth in this segment both on the domestic market and higher prices on the part of exporting companies.

As a result, already today apples in Ukraine cost buyers on average 54% more expensive than in the same period last year. At the same time, market operators note that the price growth did not contribute to the decrease in demand for apples, therefore they do not exclude that next week sellers will make attempts to revise prices in this segment once again.
