Active exports help lift Ukrainian onion prices
As a result, prices have grown by 36% since the beginning of this week and now reach UAH 2.50/kg (EUR 0.09/kg) in the internal market and UAH 3.50/kg (EUR 0.12/kg) for export-quality onions. For comparison, Ukrainian exporters were ready to purchase onions at no higher than UAH 2.40/kg (EUR 0.08/kg) a week before.
Current prices are still 38% lower year-on-year, however Fruit-Inform states that growers plan to continue to raise them for the foreseeable future due to a shortage of high-quality onions in Russia, which consumes the largest part of Ukrainian onion export volumes, thanks to re-exports through Belarus.
