In August, buckwheat can become significantly cheaper in Ukraine, which is facilitated by the indicators of the new cereal crop. This was reported by the analyst of the Ukrainian Club of Agrarian Business (UCAB) Svetlana Lytvyn, writes Agronews.

According to Lytvyn, thanks to the new harvest, buckwheat prices may fall the most..

“The most noticeable decline should be for buckwheat, since this year there was a certain shortage for this product due to the rush demand against the backdrop of the war. And just the harvest of the new year can improve the situation with the high price of buckwheat,” she said..

Currently, a kilogram of buckwheat is sold in Ukraine at a price of more than 90 UAH..

This is how the offers of online services of four popular retail supermarkets in Kyiv look like.

Recall that annually Ukrainians consume an average of 130-140 thousand tons of buckwheat.. This year, Ukraine will be able to harvest approximately only 20 thousand tons of buckwheat with the required minimum of 100 thousand tons, prices will continue to rise. This was previously stated by financial and economic observer Bogdan Slutsky.
