Food prices rise in Ukraine due to Russian military aggression. In particular, the price of last year's carrots increased. One of the reasons for the rise in prices, experts call the reduction in stocks of this vegetable.. This was reported by analysts of the EastFruit project..

According to market operators, trading activity in the segment of last year's carrots slightly increased, which, against the background of a seasonal reduction in stocks of products in local farms, led to a shortage of high-quality carrots on the market..

Analysts explained that now in Ukrainian farms the stocks of last year's carrots are almost over, but the demand for the vegetable continues to grow.. Farmers who still have stocks of carrots were able to increase the price of this product.

So, since the beginning of last week, the price of carrots from last year's harvest has increased by 12%.. As of May 24, producers shipped carrots no cheaper than 42-53 UAH/kg ($1.15-1.45/kg), depending on the batch size and the quality of the products offered..

According to analysts, as a result of such adjustments, carrot prices in Ukraine are now on average three times higher than in the same period in 2022..
