Due to the expansion of the seasonal supply, the prices of greenhouse tomatoes in Poland fell by an average of 19 percent in the second to third week of October. The current average price ranges between 5-5.4 PLN/kg (435-465 HUF/kg) compared to the average price of 6-7 PLN/kg typical of previous weeks. According to EastFruit, another reason for the price drop was the quality problems of tomatoes produced in local facilities, which forced producers to reduce prices. In addition, there are relatively large stocks in stock, as demand has fallen significantly due to price increases due to the general inflationary environment, and Polish export opportunities have narrowed, primarily due to the spillover effects of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, he reports.

Despite the current sudden price drop, tomatoes are still 37% more expensive compared to last year’s price level, so according to analysts, it is conceivable that distributors will temporarily try to empty stocks with further price reductions.
