Season of vegetables and fruits is finished. Now we can observe gradual rise in prices of basic components of Ukrainian “borsch”. Three months of falling prices - May, June, July - came to an end. On average, prices have risen significantly - the inflation in August amounted to 1.27%.
In summer months, a trend rise in prices for meat and dairy products, but a significant decrease in the prices of vegetables - the total consumer basket dropped in price. When cabbage and tomatoes begin to rise in price, we will reach a new level of high prices comparing to 2010 - now meat and dairy products is more expensive than last year. Accordingly, the Ukrainians will meet in October 2011 with a serious test of family budgets.
