After a short-term decline in prices a week earlier, greenhouse cucumbers have risen in price again in Ukraine, according to analysts of the EastFruit project. The resumption of positive price trends is associated with a reduction in the supply of imported products on the domestic market. Recall that before the recent price decline, cucumbers were rising in price for 5 weeks in a row, setting new price records this season.
Today, wholesale consignments of greenhouse cucumbers in Ukraine go on sale at 90-120 UAH/kg ($2.19-2.92/kg), depending on the variety, quality and volume of the consignment. A week earlier, the price range in this market segment was in the range of 70-100 UAH/kg ($1.7-2.43/kg).
According to the market operators, the supply of imported vegetables has decreased and cannot fully cover all the requests from buyers, which does not contribute to the stabilization of the price situation in this segment.
It is worth noting that Ukrainian plants are now able to ship cucumbers at an average price 33% higher than in the same period last year. At the same time, market participants are confident that price growth in this segment may continue in the near future, as only new voluminous supplies of imported greenhouse vegetables to the domestic market can change the current situation.
