Ukrainian onion prices have surged due to increased demand and a limited supply of high-quality onions, as many farms are withholding their stock. As of November 28, prices have risen to UAH 12-17/kg, a 35% increase from the previous week and a 16% increase from the same time last year. This price hike is seen as somewhat artificial, driven by farms' reluctance to sell at current prices, worsening the shortage. If this trend continues, Ukraine may need to import onions earlier than usual.
