The article highlights the significant price disparity between Ukrainian-grown new potatoes and their Israeli counterparts, with Ukrainian potatoes being sold at approximately 50% more per kilogram. This discrepancy has been pointed out by Igor Brazovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Association for the Protection of Consumer Services. Experts predict that potato prices will eventually decrease due to seasonal price fluctuations, caused by the sale of remaining old potatoes. However, the cost of stone fruits like cherries, sweet cherries, apricots, and plums is expected to increase this year due to adverse weather conditions during the flowering season, potentially leading to a smaller harvest.
