The large-scale war in 2022 led to a 38% contraction in the market and a 33% decrease in pepper production in Ukraine. However, from 2016 to 2022, pepper imports to Ukraine increased three times, attributed to a more healthy culture and increased vegetable cultivation. Analysts predict a 20% increase in pepper harvest in 2023, supported by expanded acreage and diversification of planting in various regions of Ukraine.
