Odessa’s Cheremushky Market Prices: What Vegetables and Meat Now Cost.

Market Prices at Cheremushky

According to Novyny.live: Despite seasonal changes in available goods, food prices at Odessa’s Cheremushky market remain steep. Rising fuel costs and higher electricity expenses are the main drivers. A wider selection has not led to lower prices; instead, most items have stayed expensive.

Price Fluctuations at the Market

Vegetable prices continue to swing significantly. Current costs include:

• Avocados – 120 UAH each
• Radishes – 90 UAH per kilogram
• Cucumbers from Mykolaiv – 250 UAH per kilogram
• Cocktail tomatoes from Uman – 400 UAH per kilogram

Larysa, a vendor: 'Everything has gone up. Cucumbers, for example, aren’t dropping, and our tomatoes aren’t dropping either. It all depends on fuel.'

Fruits at the market are also far from affordable. Fruit prices are:

• Pomegranates – 250 UAH per kilogram
• Kiwi – 170 UAH per kilogram
• Mandarin oranges from Turkey – 100 UAH per kilogram

Herb prices:

• Green onions – 20 UAH per bunch
• Dill – 20 UAH per bunch
• Arugula – 40 UAH per bunch

Meat has not become cheaper either. Prices are:

• Pork (neck) – 300 UAH per kilogram
• Beef (hindquarter) – 370 UAH per kilogram

Ivan, a seller: 'The price of meat is more affected by volume. If there’s a lot, the price drops; if there’s little, it rises.'

Dairy product prices are as follows:

• Medium cheese – 160 UAH per kilogram
• Sour cream – 200 UAH per kilogram
• Butter – from 450 to 500 UAH per kilogram

Vendor Tetiana noted: 'The price was the same a month ago, and it’s the same now. Fuel certainly plays a role, but we economize.'

Flowers at the market also have their own price tags. Surfinia flowers sell for 50–80 UAH each.

In short, prices at Cheremushky market remain high, driven by external factors like rising fuel costs and increasing electricity expenses. Consumers face difficulties choosing products due to their cost, which inevitably affects their daily lives.

The situation at Cheremushky market mirrors a broader trend of rising food prices across Ukraine, fueled by higher energy and resource costs. This suggests consumers should brace for further price shifts, while local entrepreneurs may need to adjust their sales strategies to retain customers. Amid high prices, ensuring food accessibility for the wider population remains a critical concern.
