Bread prices in Ukraine could increase by as much as 60% by the end of 2026, Denys Marchuk, deputy head of the All-Ukrainian Agrarian Council, said.

Marchuk also warned that dairy products and vegetables could become more expensive in the coming months, according to strana.ua.

One of the key factors behind the potential price increases is damage to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, which has forced businesses to rely on generators to maintain operations.
