In Ukraine fell sharply vegetables for soup

The cost of vegetables “borsch set” in Ukraine, for the week decreased by almost 20%. About it reports “info-SHUVAR”.

According to analysts, in the major wholesale markets of the country, cabbage is offered at a price of UAH 3-7/kg, potatoes cost 4-7 UAH/kg, the price of beet and the carrots are 3 to 7 UAH/kg, and 8-12 HR/kg, respectively, the cost of onions has dropped to UAH 6-10/kg.

The largest decline in prices over the last week, there were the cabbage and onions – this product fell by almost a third. In mid-July, Ukraine had to even import onion from Poland owing to the acute shortage of supply in local farms. Today, the onion harvest actively collect not only in the South but in the Central regions, so the local products are almost completely pushed out of the market imported, experts say.
