A recent survey highlighted by EastFruit indicates that onions are projected to be the most profitable vegetable crop for Ukraine in the 2024-2025 marketing year, with 41% of market participants anticipating high profits from onion cultivation. This projection follows a period in spring 2023 when onion prices in Ukraine soared to record highs, primarily due to a significant shortage. The shortage was largely attributed to the loss of the Kherson region, which was responsible for producing 80% of the country's onions, and the impact of hostilities in the Mykolaiv and Odesa regions. Despite the survey's limitations in terms of geographic specificity and representativeness, it also noted a comparatively lower profitability expectation for other vegetables such as cabbage, carrots, and table beets.
