In comparison with the same period in the previous season, the price of early white cabbage in Crimea has almost halved, reports Fruit-Inform.
Prices have gone down by 35-40% over the past weekend (23-24 April) and now vary between RUB 30-40/kg (USD 0.43-0.58/kg) at Krymskiy Privoz Wholesale Market, Simferopol. For comparison, they were not lower than RUB 50/kg (USD 0.72/kg) at the end of the past week.
The Crimean market participants connect a decrease in prices with a seasonal rise in the supply of early produce in the peninsula. Prices are also 44-50% lower year-on-year, and market participants are expecting further decreases.
