At wholesale markets of Ukraine this week there was recorded a decrease in selling prices for pears from local farms, analysts of the EastFruit project report. The reason for this price situation, according to market participants, is the seasonal increase in the supply of these products on the market, while the demand of wholesale companies for these fruits remains inactive.
Thus, today pears from local farms on the Ukrainian market are offered for sale in large wholesale at UAH 15-30/kg ($0.36-0.73/kg), which is on average 25% cheaper than a week earlier. According to the results of regular monitoring, prices for pears in the current season continue to gradually decline, starting from the middle of August this year, which is a consequence of constantly increasing supply of products on the market.
It should be reminded that in the current season due to milder weather conditions in winter-spring period in Ukraine, the average yield in the pear segment has significantly increased. As a result, a significant increase in production had a negative impact on the price situation on the market. As an exception here we can single out Vinnitsa region of Ukraine, where in spring of the current year producers lost 30% and more of future fruit crop due to frost and hail. But in general, this had little effect on the overall market condition in this segment.
If we compare the situation on the pear market in Ukraine with other countries of the project monitoring region, it is in this country that the most affordable pears are currently on sale. This fact once again shows the growing interest of Ukrainian gardeners in growing these fruits in the last few seasons.
It should be noted that today the selling prices for pears in Ukraine are already on average 32% cheaper than in the same period last year.
