Ukraine potato prices rise 22% as demand increases ahead of New Year holidays

This week, Ukraine's potato market has experienced an uptick in trading activity, as reported by analysts from the EastFruit project. Industry experts note that farmers are responding to increased demand by raising their selling prices in this segment.

Prices for potatoes are currently ranging between 22-30 UAH/kg ($0.53-0.72/kg), marking an average increase of 22% from the previous week. This rise in trading activity is attributed to the growing interest from wholesale companies and retail chains, which are beginning to stock up for the New Year holidays. While further increases in prices are not dismissed, a sharp rise is deemed unlikely.

Potatoes in Ukraine are now being sold at an average of 85% higher than during the same period last year. This increase is primarily due to a reduction in potato production, largely as a result of the drought that impacted almost all major potato-growing regions during the summer.
