Ukraine has not developed a robust greenhouse farming economy, leading to price fluctuations in vegetables and dependence on imports. Currently, fresh produce is coming from countries like Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Spain. Prices are dropping as they reach a point where consumers are unwilling to buy, especially in fresh dairy products. A conflict between raw milk producers and dairy product manufacturers is also occurring. Oleg Pendzin, the Executive Director of the Economic Discussion Club, forecasts a spring increase in food prices due to high electricity and heating costs, as well as inflation.
