The article highlights the significant rise in the price of lard in Ukraine, with the average price in May at 238.50 hryvnias per kilogram, a 0.73% increase from the previous month. The price fluctuates across different supermarkets, from 198 hryvnias to 279 hryvnias per kilogram. The increase in lard prices is attributed to factors such as increased raw material and fuel costs, higher logistics expenses, and hryvnia devaluation. Conversely, early vegetable prices are decreasing, and there's an increase in onion prices due to a reduced cucumber supply caused by cool weather. There's also concern about potential significant losses in Ukraine's apricot and cherry harvests due to frost damage.
