Cabbage and Root Vegetable Prices Drop While Greenhouse Produce Gets More Expensive.

Fruit and Vegetable Market Overview

According to Novyny.live: During the 11th week of 2026, regional trading platforms recorded a 15% surge in listings for fruits and vegetables. Sellers from 13 countries are actively offering their goods, with the highest number of proposals coming from Uzbekistan and Egypt. White cabbage remains the most popular item, holding the top spot in terms of listing volume.

At the same time, prices for carrots, potatoes, table beets, and white cabbage continue to decline. This downward trend is observed across major vegetable crops available on the market. However, the situation is different for greenhouse products—prices for greenhouse vegetables are starting to rise, which may indicate shifts in supply and demand within this market segment.

Outlook and Price Changes

Additionally, Ukraine is preparing for regular apple shipments to India, a move that could unlock new opportunities for Ukrainian producers. Meanwhile, the fruit market is experiencing price fluctuations:

• Bananas and persimmons have become more expensive;
• Prices for strawberries, tangerines, grapefruits, and avocados have dropped.

These pricing shifts could influence consumer choices and farmers' strategic decisions.

Overall, the fruit and vegetable market is undergoing dynamic changes that may have both positive and negative impacts on participants in this sector. The increase in supply amid falling prices for basic vegetables, combined with rising costs for greenhouse produce, paints a complex picture that requires close monitoring.

On one hand, the growing supply reflects new players actively entering the market. On the other, declining prices for staple vegetables may signal a surplus of goods. The planned export of Ukrainian apples to India could be a significant step in expanding the country's export capabilities, underscoring the importance of international trade for Ukrainian agricultural producers.
