The war stole many of our favorite products - Kherson tomatoes, watermelons and onions, Melitopol cherries, and salt from Soledar fell into the occupation.

Our wallet immediately felt the lack of everything, because the prices for other, unoccupied food are constantly rising, says TSN. 

The prices of products increased by a third, compared to last year, so Ukrainians began to save, which they had completely abandoned.

First of all, from meat and fish.

Meat sellers at the capital's market say that sales have halved, but the price of beef and pork has not risen much at all.

Lard has even become cheaper, says Ms. Lyudmila.

"Thigh - 155, scapula - 150. You can say that the price is stable on the market, it does not change.

Now the price of lard has fallen a little.

There are 150, there are 160, there are 180 - depending on which one, there are even a hundred," the saleswoman shows the goods.

Fish in Ukraine is almost all imported, so its price has increased by 40%.

First, because of the exchange rate, and secondly, the high price of fuel.

Fish is no longer brought in by the cheaper route, through the sea port, but by refrigerator trucks.

Buyers refuse fish most often. 

The bakery also says that this year's challenges had a significant impact on the cost of bread, especially the electricity shutdown.

"I made a batch, a batch of bread began to be baked, and it stops and it's all a shortage, and all this product actually needs to be thrown away," says the director of the bread factory, Yaroslav Fedorenko. 

The purchase of generators, fuel costs, irregular labor and the increased cost of ingredients put pressure on the price of bread.

"Forty percent, 60 percent - this is realistically how much bread should have grown.

This did not happen.

Today, we do not increase the price by about 20 percent.

We are not waiting for profit, we are waiting for victory", Yaroslav adds. 

Over the past year, the real incomes of Ukrainians decreased by 25 percent, economists explain.

Therefore, the consumer basket has changed - we eat more potatoes, bread and pasta. 

The price of fruit at the fair is no less biting than some vegetables.

Cabbage and beets have not grown much, potatoes are the cheapest of all the vegetables in the borscht set.

But eggs at the fair can be found cheaper than in the store - 60 hryvnias, and even 57 hryvnias for a dozen.

Egg prices have soared because of the loss of poultry farms in the south and east of the country.

There are no chickens and no eggs, which caused an unprecedented shortage.

Currently, the fuel and generator boom is holding the price.

In order to maintain a stable amount of egg production, large enterprises invest in fuel and generators.

Therefore, a decrease in cost should not be expected.

In addition, the costs of supermarkets are added to the price of products.

"Most stores are already equipped with generators, 72 percent.

It's more expensive for our industry, it's more expensive to service generators," says Andriy Zhuk, chairman of the board of the Association of Retailers of Ukraine. 

A Ukrainian vegetable that is already disappearing in some stores is an ordinary onion.

The value of Kherson onion is in storage.

It attracts less moisture and therefore does not spoil so quickly.

It is visually scarce in the markets and costs 50 hryvnias per kilo.

"35 percent of onions came from Kherson Oblast, but they did not arrive, 15% of onions came from Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but they did not arrive," says economist Oleg Pendzyn.

Therefore, there was a shortage of onions.

Two weeks ago, you could buy onions in supermarkets for 36-37 hryvnias, but now they are gone.

There are white onions at 89, shallots at 100. However, onions are already arriving from Poland and Turkey, so the price should stabilize a little. 

The general trend is that prices will not decrease.

This is caused only by inflation, by the 23rd year it will be at the level of 30 percent.
