To date, the price of an apple has broken another record, according to experts from the EasyFruit platform. They note that currently the price of fruit is the highest since the creation of independent Ukraine.
Today, the price of natsi fruit has increased to 26-38 hryvnias for 1 kilogram, which is more than one and a half times compared to last week. Experts attribute this rapid increase in cost to the fact that there is a very limited number of products on the market now. In 2023, due to the cold weather, most fruits and berries took a long time to ripen, also part of the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions continue to be under the control of the aggressor country, and it is from these regions that a large amount of relevant products usually came.
The number of high-quality apples has greatly decreased over the past six months, as the majority of producers have already completed the sale of these products, and apples of early varieties have not yet arrived on the market. Therefore, those distributors who still had a certain amount of apples immediately began to raise the price.
Also, over the last year, the price of this fruit has increased almost 4 times, and unfortunately, analysts do not expect the price to decrease in the near future.
