Potato prices in Ukraine are twice as high as last year and continue to rise

Ukrainian potato producers continue to confidently increase selling prices for their products, EastFruit project analysts report. Market operators explain the next increase in prices in this segment by increased demand from wholesale companies and retail chains, which continue to purchase potatoes for long-term storage. Thus, just from the beginning of this week, potatoes have increased in price to 10-14 UAH/kg ($0.27-0.38/kg). Which is on average 20% more expensive than at the end of the last working week. According to the producers themselves, it is not only high demand that allows them to increase prices in this segment, but also a reduction in the supply of these products from small households, since due to worsening weather conditions, most producers are not able to ship their products to the market.
