But Ukrainians are not happy. And that's why.

If the Dutch had found themselves in the Ukrainian bazaar, they would not have managed without “Kravchuchka”. The Germans are even more expensive - 0.34-0.37 euros / kg, or 11-12 hryvnias / kg. About 12 hryvnia costs a kilo of onions in Spain. And the highest prices in Holland are 40 eurocents or almost 13 UAH / kg.

Although Ukrainian onion prices are among the lowest in Europe, for Ukraine today they are among the highest in history, the Ukrainian Fruit and Vegetable Association reports.This year, onions are twice as expensive as in the fall of 2017. Although it is worth noting that in Europe, onion prices exceeded last year's level, due to reduced production. In Ukraine, sellers complain of bad weather and poor harvest. The main region for the production of onions, the Kherson region, this year suffered from heat and then from rains. Resellers also contributed to the excitement, says Tatyana Getman, an expert on the fruit and vegetable market of Eastern Europe. She believes that the hype was created artificially: "Resellers actively bought onions in order to subsequently earn money on storage."
