Moreover, the dynamics of average wholesale prices in March-April 2022 repeats the dynamics observed in March-April 2021. The average wholesale price as of April 22, 2022 is at the same level as on April 22, 2021. This is due to the seasonal decline in prices for greenhouse cucumbers, which is characterized by a downward trend starting from the second decade of March and an acceleration in the rate of price decline from the end of March or from the beginning of April.
Provided that there are no weather anomalies in the next month and the price dynamics in April and May 2021 are repeated in the future, we can expect average wholesale prices for greenhouse smooth long cucumbers to fall to 5 000 UZS /kg in the next few weeks, i.e. 2 times compared to the current levels by mid-May 2022.
