Cucumbers were the only fresh produce category in which prices increased last week. However, growth in cucumber prices was so significant that it almost fully compensated a decrease in prices of traditional vegetables and fruit.
Traditional vegetables have been becoming less expensive for the second week in a row after a sharp increase in their prices, in October. A decrease in prices was registered last week due to lower demand for traditional vegetables and the early start of imports.
Fruit prices went down, thanks to higher supply of a new citrus crop in Ukraine. At the same time, apple prices were stable in the majority of cases.
