Recall that EastFruit analysts have recently reported a sharp rise in the price of persimmons in Uzbekistan. Thus, there was a sharp increase in wholesale prices for persimmons. For example, the average purchase price for persimmons in October this year reached $0.30/kg, while they could be bought at $0.18/kg a year earlier. Rising prices for persimmons provoked increased demand from wholesalers, who are trying to store persimmons. This year, the price rise was also facilitated by the fact that the persimmon ripening season in Central Asia has shifted to a later date.
