Ukraine
Tuesday 27 March 2007
The trend of the price decrease for greenhouse cucumbers has been traced since the beginning of march. The specialists explain this circumstance by the increased volumes of cucumber production in the greenhouse complexes. One more factor influences the price decrease: medium quality cucumber is present on market. This type of cucumber is characterized by a rather short shelf-life period.
At the present moment the prices for the national cucumber have declined down to US $2.6-2.8/kg in the western regions, and down to US $2.8-3.2/kg in the central and southern regions. It is worth mentioning that the prices for the national cucumber were up to US $4.2-4.6/kg in the central and southern regions in the end of the previous week.
Also the specialists point out that Turkish cucumber is predominantly supplied for sale in the western part of the country. In view of the competition the prices for this type of produce are gradually decreasing: at the present moment the vendors set the prices up to US $2-2.6/kg.
