Currently, farms are selling white cabbage at prices ranging from 34 to 40 UAH per kilogram ($0.81–$0.95 USD/kg), which fluctuate based on the quality of the produce and the volume of supplies.
Over the past week, the price of this essential vegetable has increased by 15%, marking a significant rise.
Analysts emphasize that cabbage has once again become the most expensive component of the traditional borscht set, surpassing the price increases of other key ingredients.
Market experts attribute this trend to limited supply and heightened demand, which continue to drive up costs. This situation raises concerns among consumers, as the availability of staple food products remains a pressing issue.
