According to the Ministry of Finance data, at the beginning of September, the average price of potatoes was 15.83 UAH per kilogram, which is 5% lower than in August. Since early July, potato prices have decreased by approximately 26%. It is expected that prices will remain relatively low until mid-October, after which an increase may occur.

In Ukraine, there is a decline in potato prices. Now it costs from 15 to 18 hryvnias per kilogram. Prices are expected to remain stable until around mid-October, while the active harvest continues. After that, they will start to rise as the cold weather arrives.

Minimum potato prices in supermarkets

According to market research data from September 11, the minimum prices for potatoes in large supermarkets in Ukraine are as follows:

• Fora and Metro - from 13.90 UAH/kg
• Varus - from 14.50 UAH/kg
• Auchan and Silpo - from 14.70 UAH/kg
• ATB - from 14.85 UAH/kg
• Novus - from 14.99 UAH/kg
• MegaMarket - from 18.90 UAH/kg

According to Anton Ilya Neskhodovsky, an analyst from the 'ANTS' trading network, in September, price stability for food products without significant fluctuations is expected. Even last year, the cost of a borscht set only increased by 200 hryvnias, which is significant for consumers during the vegetable-fruit season.

Despite fluctuations in agriculture, potato prices continue to remain stable. This allows consumers to plan their expenses, especially during the active harvest season. It is expected that with the arrival of cold weather and the end of the harvest season, prices may rise, so it is worth paying attention to market trends.
