According to traders, there are not so many tomatoes in the country to organize a worthy export.

The decline in tomato exports this year is a record low, analysts say. So much so that the trade in domestic tomatoes abroad had to be suspended.

“The volumes that export requires are not observed this season. - Ukrainian farmers say. - The remains of greenhouse tomatoes are sold at domestic trading floors. And then, in small batches. ”

It is noteworthy that before Belarus was the main buyer of Ukrainian tomatoes. In 2018, it did not work to please the neighbors with large-scale parties. As a result, Belarusians found other suppliers.

Ukrainian farmers had to lower prices for Ukrainian tomatoes grown in greenhouses in order to sell the goods. If last year in October-November a kilogram of tomatoes cost 33-35 hryvnias, this year their cost dropped to 18-23 UAH. While analysts are finding out the reasons for the low demand in the Ukrainian consumer market and trying to find out why so many cheap "substandard" products appeared on the shelves, the Turks seize the moment and import trial supplies of their tomatoes to Ukraine.
