Prices of vegetables reduced by half in Kherson region

Although price formation data may not be the sexiest topic under the sun, that will not stop farm produce prices having a huge influence on people’s living conditions in Ukraine.

Recently, prices of hothouse plants have been reduced by half in the Kherson region. For instance, the price of radish fell from 40-42 to 20 grivnas per kilogram and that of cabbage from 35 to 20 grn a kilo.

A substantial reduction in the prices can be explained by a poor demand for vegetables. In the past dealers bought them wholesale in the Kherson oblast and delivered farm produce to eastern Ukraine or exported to Russia.

Thanks to the Ukro-fascist junta, which is waging a criminal war against a large Russian population in the Donbas region, it is impossible for dealers to carry on trade there today.
