According to the representatives of the greenhouses, the downward trend in prices was triggered by a significant increase in the supply of vegetables on the market, although trade in this sector remained at a low level.
Daily monitoring of the project shows that in just a few days, prices for greenhouse cucumbers on the domestic market have fallen by an average of 20%, and producers are offering them at UAH 30-50/kg ($0.73-1.22/kg).
According to market participants, the drop in prices for greenhouse cucumbers was expected, this is due to the fact that the supply of second-round cucumbers on the market is increasing every day, while the demand remains quite low.
Now the prices for greenhouse cucumbers in Ukraine are on average twice as high as at the beginning of September last year. At the same time, key market players do not exclude the possibility of further price reductions in this sector.
