EastFruit experts have completed an audit of the fruit and vegetable departments of supermarkets in Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. As part of the audit, retail prices for basic vegetables and fruits were monitored in a representative number of supermarket chains of various sizes.
They found interesting results when comparing retail prices for apples in the largest cities of the region, especially considering the large supply of apples on the market this year. The first two positions in the rating were taken by Ukrainian Kyiv and Dnipro, with a wide margin from all other cities.
A kilogram of apples in Kyiv could be bought at $0.36/kg average – 19% cheaper than in Dnipro, a third cheaper than in Chisinau and half as much as in Tbilisi. The difference between the prices for apples in Kiev and the cities of Central Asia is even greater; prices in Uzbekistan are 2.5 times higher, prices in Tajikistan are 3 times higher.
