Moreover, it is worth noting that the supply of imported cucumbers has significantly decreased, allowing Ukrainian greenhouse complexes to raise their prices. As of today, cucumbers from domestic greenhouses are sold in the range of 95-140 UAH per kilogram (2.29-3.37 USD per kg), which is on average 12% more expensive than at the end of last working week.

Impact of Weather and Product Quality

Experts point out that this week the volume of cucumber harvests in greenhouses has decreased due to unfavorable weather conditions. Against this backdrop, the demand for cucumbers remains high, as consumers are often dissatisfied with the quality of imported products and prefer domestic goods.

Price Comparison with Last Year

Despite the latest price increase, cucumber prices in Ukraine today remain, on average, 10% lower than during the same period last year.
