The average price per kilogram of grapes rose by 20.8% compared to December 2024 – from 206.11 to 249.08 hryvnias. The highest prices for grapes were recorded in the MegaMarket chain – 289.90 UAH/kg, while in Auchan and Metro grapes can be purchased for 228.70 UAH/kg.
Regarding apples, the situation is more stable. Ukrainian apples have slightly increased in price – the average price rose by 8.3% from 34.25 to 37.70 hryvnias per kilogram. Meanwhile, they are sold at the most attractive price in the Novus chain – 18.90 UAH/kg. Aydared apples have maintained their price level in December – 37.70 UAH/kg in the Auchan network.
