The cost of apples in Ukraine has seen a rise of 9-15% compared to the previous period, with prices now between UAH 23-26/kg. This increase is attributed to factors such as seasonality, harvest quality, logistics costs, and import-export relations. However, prices may decrease if weather conditions favor apple growth. The border blockade could potentially increase the prices of certain food products, especially those imported from Europe, but the prices of main vegetables grown domestically are not expected to be affected.
