Today, prices for greenhouse tomatoes in Ukraine are already on average 22% higher than for the same period last year.
This week, the Ukrainian greenhouse tomato market saw an increase in upward price trends.
This is reported by analysts from the EastFruit project.
Due to the consistently low demand for this product, which has been observed on the tomato market over the past few weeks, importers have been forced to reduce supply volumes. As a result, the supply of Turkish vegetables on the Ukrainian market has significantly decreased, which, against the backdrop of growing demand, has provoked another price increase in this segment.
Thus, today the price of greenhouse tomatoes has formed in the range of 85-95 UAH/kg ($2.05-2.29/kg), which is on average 13% more expensive than at the end of the last working week. The project experts explain this price trend by the reduction in the supply of imported tomatoes in Ukraine, the main supplier of which is Turkey, which is associated with a decrease in imports from this country due to the seasonal factor.
It is worth noting that today the prices for greenhouse tomatoes in Ukraine are already on average 22% higher than for the same period last year. At the same time, market participants did not rule out further price growth for this product if tomato supplies from Turkey to Ukraine do not resume in the near future. It should be noted that the sale of tomatoes in local greenhouse complexes will not begin before mid-April.
Let us recall that over the past week, a trend of rising prices for greenhouse cucumbers has been established in Ukraine .
