At the end of January, the average price for milk did not exceed 18.5 UAH/kg. Despite this, the product remained 23% more expensive than in January 2024. Reports by Glavred. This information was provided by Kontrakty.UA.
Experts also note that in the second half of 2024, the rate of price increase for milk in Ukraine was 2.3 times higher than in the European Union countries.
Prices for milk in supermarkets:
- ATB – 35.90 UAH for 900 g (discounted price)
- Auchan – 39.90 UAH for 900 g
- Silpo – 47.90 UAH for 900 g (discounted price)
If the downward trend continues, it could positively impact the cost of dairy products in retail chains.
As noted by Glavred, apples in Ukraine are becoming cheaper. In the second week of February, quality apples were sold for 22-30 UAH/kg ($0.53-0.72/kg), which is approximately 12% cheaper than the previous week.
Recently, major retail chains have also reduced the price of packaged eggs by 6-8 UAH per dozen. In January and February, prices for this popular product steadily declined.
In contrast, prices for greenhouse cucumbers in the Ukrainian market continue to rise for the second consecutive week. One reason is the increased cost of imports from Turkey.
