Sugar Prices in 2026: How Much Will They Rise and Why to Expect It.

According to ТСН: In Ukraine, considering the massive shelling, logistic problems, and the complicated economic situation, experts predict changes in sugar prices in the coming year.

Economist Volodymyr Chizh emphasized that in 2025, prices for many essential products significantly increased, especially after attacks on critical infrastructure, but the price of sugar remained relatively stable. According to the Ministry of Finance data, the average cost of a kilogram of sugar in November 2025 was 30.37 UAH, while in November 2024, this figure was 33.12 UAH.

Current Prices in Supermarkets

• 'Novus' – 28.49 UAH
• 'Varus', ATB, 'Aushan', 'Metro', 'Fora' – 28.50 UAH
• 'MegaMarket' – 29.10 UAH
• 'Silpo' – 30.29 UAH

Chizh also noted that at the beginning of 2026, there are no grounds for a significant increase in sugar prices, and the average cost will remain within 40–48 UAH per kilogram.

Economists warn that budget bread may rise in price by 25% in 2026, but if a truce is reached, the price increase will be limited to 10–12%.

It should be noted that over the past two years, the price of a kilogram of a basic product for almost all dishes has risen by approximately 10 hryvnias.

Thus, considering the forecasts of experts, the situation with sugar prices and other food products will remain under control, but uncertainty in Ukraine may affect the economic climate and price stability in the future. Consumers should monitor market changes to plan their food expenses in light of anticipated price fluctuations.
