Of the greatest demand among the Russian consumer of all products of the so-called "borscht set" is carrots.

In this regard, the implementers did not fail to take advantage of the situation and began to increase the price of this culture in early January 2019. Since then, carrots have risen significantly in price and today they are sold at an average price of 16.5 rubles per kilogram package (from 13 to 20 rubles at different points of sale). To make the process of active price increase more visual, we note that a week ago a kilogram of carrots cost Russians 12% cheaper.

Market analysts explain the rise in prices for carrots by the fact that stocks of high-quality domestic bright orange root crops are rapidly declining in farm vegetable stores. And in general, the carrot harvest in 2018 cannot be called generous. The reduction in stocks amid increased demand gives sellers the opportunity to change the price tags for carrots every day with an increasing number. Analysts are sure that the tendency for Russian carrots to rise in price will continue in the future - until the new crop.
