White cabbage started to rise in price on the Ukrainian market this week, according to analysts of the EastFruit project. The main reason for the positive price trend in this segment was a noticeable increase in demand. However, this situation prevailed only in the segment of high quality products.
Under the current conditions, the owners of high-quality cabbage were able to increase their selling prices. Today, they are ready to ship these products in the range of 20-27 UAH/kg ($0.48-0.65/kg), depending on the quality and volume of the offered batches, which is on average 11% more expensive than a week earlier.
At the same time, the supply of white cabbage on the market is quite limited, as many farms prefer not to rush into sales, as they do not rule out that prices for this product may continue to rise in the coming weeks.
It is worth noting that today the price of white cabbage in Ukraine is already on average 2.7 times higher than in the same period in 2023, and most market participants predict further price increases. They justify their opinion by the decline in production of this product in the country, as well as a significant reduction in the share of products suitable for long-term storage.
