Continued Price Increases in March

In March 2025, price increases for food products continue in Ukraine, linked to changes in demand and supply, as well as seasonal factors affecting the market. The main reasons for the price increases are seasonal factors related to fluctuations in temperature and climatic conditions. However, it is expected that an increase in milk yields may alter the pricing situation in the market with the onset of warmer weather, approximately at the end of April.
