SubscribeProducers have raised the wholesale prices for greenhouse cucumbers to 90-115 hryvnias per kilogram, depending on quality and batch size. This is, on average, 13% higher than a week ago.
The price of cucumbers in Ukraine has been increasing for four consecutive weeks. Experts believe that the latest price hike is linked to a decrease in supply from local farms, as many facilities have completed their seasonal sales, and the remaining ones are selling vegetables in small batches. At the same time, there remains a high demand for cucumbers in the domestic market, which is driving prices up.
Autumn prices for cucumbers are, on average, 57% higher than during the same period last year, and market participants believe that the increase in this segment may continue.
