Dmitry Tkachenko, co-owner of Volya JLLC in Ukraine, predicted that potato prices may rise due to severe frosts and snowfalls, potentially in the second half of the storage season starting from February. He wrote that the price will largely depend on the weather conditions and noted that there is an abundance of potatoes in the market currently. Tkachenko does not anticipate a significant increase in the price of vegetables and mentioned that exports of Ukrainian potatoes to the EU are limited due to quarantine restrictions.
