Expert Explained What Would Happen to the Vegetable Prices after October
After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, the food prices have increased by 20%, while the vegetable prices are now held back by a seasonal factor.
This fall the vegetable prices in Ukraine will likely increase by 10-15%.
According to Denis Marchuk, the Deputy Head of all-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, the prices are expected to raise after October.
"It’s August now, the vegetable harvest season, therefore sale prices are going down due to the growing supply. Potato, cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables are now cheaper, but te seasonal factor will last only by the end of October. In light of the fact that some portion of Ukrainians have moved abroad, and this is another factor contributing to the lower prices of seasonable vegetables. However, during the fall the vegetable storage costs will increase, so we expect that after October the pieces in all vegetable categories will increase by 10-15%”, Marchuk stressed.
