This week, analysts from the «EastFruit» platform began to record the increase in the cost of these vegetables.
Producers note that due to quite active and constantly growing demand, they are also forced to raise the price, as due to rather cold weather, the amount of products has decreased and tomatoes from summer batches are no longer sold.
Today, 1 kilogram of greenhouse tomatoes can be purchased for 50-60 hryvnias, while a week ago the price was 10% lower. Sellers also note that such an increase in value is due to a decrease in supply on the market. Small farms and factories have already finished selling all their products, and large factories now have quite limited batches.
Yes, at the moment, the price of tomatoes is already 12% higher compared to last year, and now quite a large number of producers are saying that starting next week we can expect another price increase.
