A downward price trend has been noted in the greenhouse tomato market of Ukraine. The main reason for the price drops was the massive supply of Turkish tomatoes to the Ukrainian market. This coincides with a limited supply of local tomatoes due to small batches and cloudy weather.
At the moment, Ukrainian greenhouses are selling tomatoes at 50-60 UAH/kg ($1.37-1.50/kg), which is, on average, 10% cheaper than a week earlier. It should be noted that Turkish tomatoes entered the Ukrainian market this week at UAH 45/kg ($1.23/kg).
According to representatives of greenhouse complexes, the demand for local tomatoes began to decline markedly, mainly due to the appearance of cheaper Turkish products on the market.
