Greenhouse Tomato Prices Surge in Ukraine: What a Kilogram Now Costs.
Ukrainian Greenhouse Tomato Market Under Pressure
According to Novyny.live: By late March 2026, greenhouse tomato prices in Ukraine have climbed sharply due to a drop in import volumes. Prices currently range from 140 to 160 hryvnias per kilogram—16% higher than at the end of the previous workweek. Further increases are expected as supply remains constrained.
Compared to the same period last year, tomato prices in March 2026 are 89% higher. The main driver is a seasonal reduction in tomato imports from Turkey. Local greenhouse farms will not be able to bring their own produce to market until mid-April, adding to the supply gap.
Breakdown of Greenhouse Tomato Prices
Here is a closer look at current pricing for different tomato varieties:
- Pink tomatoes average 448 hryvnias per kilogram.
- Red tomatoes sell for between 189 and 280 hryvnias per kilogram.
- Plum tomatoes range from 207 to 239 hryvnias per kilogram.
These figures highlight significant price variation across tomato types during this period.
The greenhouse tomato market remains tense, and future price trends will hinge on import availability and local harvest outcomes. Shoppers should keep this in mind when planning their purchases.
Reduced tomato imports from Turkey and delays in local greenhouse harvests suggest the market could stay under pressure for months. Consumers need to factor in this trend when deciding what to buy, as prices may keep rising amid limited supply.
It is also important to monitor developments in the agricultural sector, as improvements in yield or shifts in import policy could significantly impact the market.
