The Ukrainian fresh produce price index has grown by 2.2% in the week from October 24th to 30th, after a rise of 61.6% over the previous four weeks."Greenhouse vegetables and potatoes made the largest contribution to an increase in the fresh produce price index last week," says Ms. Tetiana Getman, Head of Fruit-Inform. "At the same time, traditional vegetables became less expensive after a sharp rise in prices over the previous two weeks."
In regards to the fruit segment, prices changed insignificantly thanks to steady supply and demand balance. A decrease in prices was registered just in the segment of mandarins due to their growing supply. As a result, the fresh fruit price index went down by 3.4% week-on-week.
