News on Potato Trade from the Ukraine

According to EastFruit, the Ukrainian potato market has seen a sharp drop in trade activity.

February 24, 2022 was a turning point for both Ukraine and the rest of the world, since the Russian invasion of Ukraine has undoubtedly turned the normal world order on its head.

Despite the fact that potato prices are declining in Ukraine, their reduction so far has not been sufficient to stop the huge flow of Russian imports.

In 2017, the Ukraine exported 17.6 thousand tonnes of potatoes, 3.5 times more than in 2016

Russia`s temporary blockade imposed on imports of Ukrainian potatoes is unlikely to have a major impact on trade, says analyst.

Russia’s Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) has issued a temporary import ban on potatoes from neighboring Ukraine.
