Farmers in the main production regions are ready to send high-quality potatoes for 18-28 UAH/kg.
Potato prices on Ukrainian farms decreased by an average of 10% to 18-28 UAH/kg. This was reported by the analysts of the EastFruit project.
“Farmers in the main production regions are ready to send high-quality potatoes for 18-28 UAH/kg (0.43-0.68 USD/kg), depending on the quantity and quality of the products offered, which on average which is 10% cheaper, ” – said the message.
In the past, sellers managed to maintain high selling prices, even when trading activity was declining.
At the same time, it is difficult for producers to sell potatoes at such prices, especially those that are not suitable for long-term storage. Most of them started reducing selling prices until the middle of last week to attract wholesalers.
At the same time, wholesale companies that previously bought expensive potatoes in foreign markets are currently selling excessive quantities at a loss. Owners of high-quality potatoes are in no hurry to sell existing quantities of products, as they expect the market price situation to improve.
Currently, potato prices on the Ukrainian market are on average 2.3 times higher than at the beginning of November last year.
We remind you that in Ukraine, potato prices are setting new records. At the beginning of October, potatoes were sold for 17-22 hryvnia.
