Agricultural expert Denis Marchuk predicts rising prices for dairy products, meat, and bread in Ukraine by the end of the year, with potential increases between 8% and 20%. He notes that factors such as labor costs, exchange rates, and inflation influence pricing. While summer typically brings lower prices for vegetables and fruits due to increased supply, Marchuk warns that prices could rise again by autumn due to storage costs and other expenses. Another expert, Mykola Furdyga, states that Ukraine has enough potato harvest to meet domestic demand.
