Strawberries are a popular fruit in Ukraine, available year-round due to imports from warmer countries. However, in early spring, prices tend to remain high as demand outstrips supply.
During the month of March, most strawberries on the market are imported from Greece, with larger shipments expected to arrive in April. Prices for strawberries in supermarkets can vary, ranging from €2.85 to €9.55 per kilogram, depending on the store and packaging. For those looking to purchase in bulk, wholesale markets in cities like Kyiv and Lviv offer strawberries at prices between €6.90 and €8.30 per kilogram.
Local strawberry production in Ukraine typically begins in May, starting with greenhouse-grown berries from regions such as Ternopil, Chernivtsi, and Zakarpattia. As the season progresses, open-field strawberries will become available in mid-May, with peak production expected in June.
Last year, early-season strawberry prices started at around €3.20-4.00 per kilogram, gradually decreasing to €1.30 per kilogram as the season advanced. This year, however, forecasts for pricing remain uncertain due to various factors affecting the market.
