Tridge summary

The article reports a decrease in the prices of tomatoes and cucumbers on the Ukrainian market, attributed to increased supply from Ukraine and imports from other countries such as Poland, Turkey, Serbia, Albania, and Romania. The decline in prices is significant, with tomatoes now 31% cheaper and cucumbers 37% cheaper compared to the previous week. The first batches of the new crop of carrots and beets are also available, but their prices are high. The prices for last year's potatoes have hit a five-year low. However, producers in the Kherson region, currently occupied by Russia, face challenges in selling their crops and are forced to sell at low prices with no guarantees of selling the entire harvest.

Due to the increase in the supply of tomatoes and cucumbers, both from Ukrainian producers and from suppliers from other countries, their prices are falling. Also, the first batches of carrots and beets of the new crop are beginning to appear on the Ukrainian market. However, the prices for such products are quite high, according to SEEDS. Cheaper prices for tomatoes and cucumbers are explained by warm sunny weather and increased imports from Poland, Turkey, Serbia, Albania and Romania. In addition to beets and carrots, young potatoes and cabbage also appeared on the market. Prices for last year's potatoes are now the lowest they have been in five years. The new crop of onions will be on sale soon.
