Greenhouse cucumbers are rising in price again in Ukraine, according to analysts of the EastFruit project. Market participants attribute the increase in prices in this segment to the increased demand for greenhouse cucumbers amid a relatively low supply of these products.
As of today, greenhouse cucumbers go on sale at 80-120 UAH/kg ($1.93-2.89/kg), which is on average 23% more expensive than a week earlier.
Another reason for the rise in the price of greenhouse cucumbers was the rather limited supply of these products on the market. Thus, today the main supply on the Ukrainian market is exclusively imported products, as Ukrainian greenhouse plants will enter the market with a new turnover not earlier than the middle of this month.
However, despite the rise in price of greenhouse cucumbers, today these products are offered for sale in Ukraine on average 12% cheaper than in early February last year.
