Last year’s apples reserves were quickly reduced, and new harvest fruits would sell no sooner than a few weeks.
Most Ukraine gardeners have announced the actual completion of the implementation period of apples from local farms. This was reported by the analysts of the Eastfruit Project on Thursday, May 22.
Manufacturers who still have enough amounts of apples for sales immediately raised vacation prices for the existing batch of fruits.
Thus, from the beginning of the week the prices of apples in the Ukrainian market have increased by average of 14%, and now these fruits are sold to 32-40 UAH/kg.
According to key players in the market, price increases in this segment are primarily associated with periodic factors. Thus, last year’s apple reserves were quickly reduced, and the fruits of the new harvest sold would not be done sooner than a few weeks later. In connection with the cold and long spring this year, the early apple season in Ukraine is significantly delayed.
Today, vacation prices for apples in Ukraine are on average twice as high as the same period last year. Market experts agree that vacation prices in this segment will continue to grow, until entering the fruit market of a new harvest.
Keep in mind that according to March results, consumer prices in Ukraine accelerated 1.5% from 0.8% in February. An annual inflation was up to 14.6% compared to 13.4% in February.
