Potato prices are breaking records: should we expect a reduction in prices?></img></p> <p><strong>Market operators have not ruled out that potato prices will continue to rise, as the supply of this vegetable continues to decline.</strong></p> <p>< p>In <strong>Ukraine</strong> there is an increase in potato prices. One of the reasons for the rise in price was the shortage of quality products.</p> <p>This is reported by analysts of the EastFruit project.</p> <p>Analysts explained that wholesale companies and retail chains are increasingly faced with the problem of purchasing the required volumes of quality potatoes. </p> <p>Experts added that this situation allows farmers to confidently increase prices for high-quality potatoes.</p> <p>In particular, on March 5, Ukrainian producers shipped potatoes for 16-23 UAH/kg, which is on average 14% more expensive than a week earlier.</p> <p>Market players emphasized that currently the stocks of high-quality potatoes in Ukrainian farms are already quite limited, while the demand for these products continues to grow. This is the main reason for the rise in prices.</p> <p>It should be noted that potatoes are currently on average 2.8 times more expensive than at the beginning of March 2023.</p> <p>Previously reported, that, although inflation in <strong>Ukraine</strong> is slowing down, almost all products, services and goods have become more expensive over the year.</p> <p>The Ministry of Agricultural Policy believes that in 2024 prices for basic<strong>products< /strong> in Ukraine will remain stable, but only of Ukrainian production.</p> <p><!--noindex--></p> <p><a rel=tsn.ua
