Tridge summary

In Ukraine, the price of greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers rose sharply due to the unstable supply of imported vegetables. This is evidenced by the results of market monitoring conducted by experts from EastFruit. Experts note that tomatoes and cucumbers have become more expensive in Ukraine, although prices have fallen in European countries. Experts explain this situation by the unstable supply of imported vegetables to our country. In addition, the fact that local Ukrainian products were almost non-existent on the domestic market had a negative impact. Therefore, the greenhouse cucumber in Ukraine rose to 65 hryvnias. A similar situation with tomatoes - an increase in vegetable prices was recorded not only in our country but also in Moldova and Georgia. "In Ukraine, Moldova, and Georgia, the supply of local tomatoes was insufficient, and suppliers of imported products were able to raise prices without hindrance," the experts explained in their report. Thus, by January 14, the greenhouse tomato on the Ukrainian market managed to rise in price by almost a third - to 42 hryvnias.
