Prices for fruit and vegetable in Russia fell further last week. The decrease was less dramatic than a week earlier and averaged only 0.7%. In the first week of April fruit and vegetables prices fell by 10.4% at once. This was the record-breaking weekly decrease rate in 2011. Russian market also experienced a slight decrease of garden strawberry prices last week that led to higher demand for these berries from large cities. Analysts of Fruit-Inform Project predict garden strawberry prices to keep their decreasing trend in future. At the same time, demand for this produce will be growing. Principal consumption season of these berries comes in the second half of June, when the market is entered by large quantities of domestic produce.
