It is noted that the very low demand for potatoes in Ukraine is forcing producers to gradually reduce selling prices.
According to experts, the main reason that provokes the decline in potato prices is the significant increase in substandard products on the market.
According to experts, farmers have begun actively selling off products from storage facilities, the quality of which has begun to rapidly deteriorate after the onset of warm weather in Ukraine.
However, despite the downward price trend, potatoes in Ukraine today go on sale at an average of 23% more expensive than a year earlier.
However, analysts do not rule out that various price fluctuations are possible in this market segment until the end of the current marketing season.
