In Ukraine there is an increase in demand for fresh raspberries Consumers of the berry are not deterred by its high wholesale price.
This was reported by analysts from the EastFruit project.
Analysts noted that currently the wholesale price for raspberries is up to 30 euros per kg or 1200 and more UAH/kg. Wholesalers explained that last year the demand for this berry was slightly lower.
