Raspberry prices for the fresh market in Ukraine have noticeably declined this week, according to EastFruit analysts. Producers attribute this negative price trend to an increase in raspberry supply on the market.
Currently, wholesale raspberry batches are being sold at 160-250 UAH/kg ($3.83-5.98/kg), approximately 15% cheaper than at the end of last week.
The primary reason for the rapid decline in local raspberry prices, as highlighted by Ukrainian farmers, is the increase in raspberry supply. Nearly all farms have begun harvesting raspberries, further accelerated by favorable weather conditions. Warm and sunny weather across most of the country significantly contributed to the rapid ripening of the berries.
