What’s behind the spike in carrot prices in Ukraine?
As the New Year approaches, high-quality carrots are in high demand in the Ukrainian market, driving up their prices, according to the EastFruit . Another factor behind the rising demand is the end of sales of this root crop from unprepared storages.
Currently, local farms are shipping carrots at 10-14 UAH/kg ($0.27-0.38/kg), which is about 20% higher than the previous week.
