Potato prices resumed to rise in Ukraine

The potato market in Ukraine has seen an increase in trade and purchasing activity this week, according to analysts from the EastFruit project. At the same time, industry experts note that in the context of increasing demand, farmers continue to raise selling prices in this segment. Thus, at the moment, they are already declaring prices for potatoes in the range of 22-30 UAH/kg ($0.53-0.72/kg), which is on average 22% more expensive than the week before. Market operators associate the increase in trade activity in this segment with the increased interest of wholesale companies and retail chains, which have already begun to stock up for the New Year holidays. At the same time, they do not rule out the possibility of further price increases in this segment, but admit that a sharp increase in prices should not be expected.
