The shortage is getting closer: what products will disappear from the shelves due to the occupiers

Ukrainian consumers are at risk of being left without a number of vegetables due to the occupation of the Kherson region by Russian troops.

This was told by experts in the exclusive material “Today”.

The occupiers do not allow goods to enter the controlled territory of Ukraine, but massively export our harvest to the annexed Crimea and literally take it away from the farmers.

“Our region is an agrarian region that supplied vegetables to the entire country. First, the invaders cut off the temporarily occupied Kherson region from Ukraine, and then forced them to sell vegetables for a penny, actually robbing them. On other people’s deaths and grief, the invaders rejoice at cheap and stolen vegetables,” said the deputy of the Kherson Regional Council Sergei Khlon.

What will happen to prices?

According to local publications, due to the inability to sell vegetables, in the Kherson region, their prices fell to unprecedented levels.

Last week the rates were:

• young cabbage was sold for 10 UAH;
• radish for 3 UAH;
• cucumbers for 10 UAH per kilogram.

This is 3-7 times cheaperthan in the territories controlled by Ukraine.

Farmers from the western regions are now trying to increase the production of Kherson crops, first of all, we are talking about tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and onions.

Most likely, this season will have to buy more imported products, which will immediately affect prices, such vegetables will be at least twice as expensive.

Also in the summer Ukrainians can stay without watermelons and melonswhich are traditionally grown in the Kherson region.
