Cauliflowers are still expensive.

Sales prices of Polish cauliflowers in our national wholesale market increased from June 5th to June 20th, as indicated by data from the daily price monitoring conducted by the editorial team of fresh-market.pl. During this period, the upward trend raised the average price of cauliflowers ("ready to eat", with packaging) by 180 percent!

However, as seen in the chart, this trend has now reversed. In the past week, we have seen price declines for cauliflowers due to an improvement in the supply of these vegetables in the domestic fresh market. Currently, the sales prices of these vegetables in the wholesale market are mostly in the range of 4.00-6.00 PLN/piece.

And, as can also be observed in the chart, despite an average decrease of 29 percent, the current average price level remains remarkably high compared to the previous five seasons. In fact, the current average price is the highest in at least fifteen years.

Therefore, it's not surprising that the current demand for cauliflowers in the Polish fresh market has decreased. Even with retailers reducing their margins, the prices that consumers see in stores and markets may discourage frequent purchases of cauliflowers. This, plus the change in the supply trend - with current harvests again higher, has led to further downward adjustments. Most likely, this trend will continue, unless, of course, the weather plays a trick.
