This week, large quantities of cucumbers produced in Turkey began arriving in Ukraine, EastFruit project analysts report. The cucumber import season began earlier than last year, and actually coincided with the end of the season for this product in Ukrainian stationary plants. The quality of imported cucumber, according to sellers, is satisfactory, and prices are slightly lower than for local products. Thus, today cucumbers from Turkey and Romania are shipped to the Ukrainian market at 55-60 UAH/kg ($1.52-1.65/kg).
