Wholesale prices for table beet in Ukraine began to decline gradually at the beginning of March this year. Last week was no exception, according to analysts from the EastFruit project.
To stimulate trading activity, Ukrainian farmers are once again forced to reduce prices for this product. Ahead of the weekend, these root vegetables were offered on the Ukrainian market at 3–8 UAH/kg ($0.07–0.18/kg), which is on average 19% cheaper than at the end of the previous working week.
Experts link the downward price trend to an increase in supply, as farms that had previously refrained from selling are now actively releasing their available stocks. At the same time, the supply of substandard root vegetables remains abundant, which also puts pressure on prices for high-quality produce.

It is worth noting that the current price of table beet in Ukraine is already on average 91% lower than in the third ten-day period of March 2025. Some market participants believe that the downward trend may continue despite the seasonal reduction in supply. They attribute this to the large volumes of table beet remaining in local storage facilities.
