Bananas
Unlike citrus fruits, bananas have remained almost at the same price level. Their average price has only decreased by 68 kopecks, now standing at 60.90 UAH/kg.
Experts explain the drop in citrus prices by several factors:
- Seasonal supply peak. Before the New Year holidays, the import of citrus fruits significantly increases, creating a high supply in the market.
- Reduction in logistics costs. Thanks to stability in the transportation sector, price spikes have been avoided.
- Decrease in demand for certain items. During the holiday period, Ukrainians typically opt for the most affordable options.
