Prices for imported tomatoes in Ukraine increased by 11% in a week

Tridge summary

In Ukraine, the price of imported tomatoes has surged by an average of 11% this week due to a combination of insufficient supply and increased prices from Turkey, a key supplier. The rise in prices is linked to a heightened demand for greenhouse tomatoes against a backdrop of low import volumes, with Turkish tomatoes being particularly affected. Currently, the cost of greenhouse tomatoes in Ukraine is 50% higher than it was last year. However, there is an expectation that prices might stabilize in the latter half of the month as local greenhouse operations start their harvest, potentially increasing the supply in the market.
