The price of potatoes grew five times over the last year and does not seem to have reached its limit.
According to the experts of the project "APK-Inform: Fruits and Vegetables", potatoes became 13 percent more expensive over the last couple of days: wholesale price is 4-4.5 hryvnas per kilo, while select potatoes cost 4.8-5 hryvnas per kilo. Retail prices are even higher.
The analysts say that the price increase is accompanied with drop in supply: the farmers hold back the goods, hoping, that potatoes price will go up even further and bring them additional gains.
