Increased trade activity stimulates the growth of prices for carrots in Ukrainian farms, according to analysts of the EastFruit project. According to the producers themselves, at the moment this root vegetable is actively purchased by both wholesale companies, which put it in storage, and the population, which forms stocks for the winter. In addition, sales to retail chains remain quite stable.
Today, farmers in the main regions of production ship quality carrots at 18-25 UAH/kg ($0.16-0.22/kg), which is on average 12% more expensive than at the end of last week. However, industry experts emphasize that the trend of price growth is observed only in the segment of high quality carrots, which are purchased for storage.
It should be noted that at the moment prices for quality carrots in Ukraine are already on average 3.3 times higher than in the same period last year. At the same time, some producers plan to further increase prices for carrots, provided the current sales rates are maintained.
