Locally grown radishes went on sale two weeks ago, but its value has already fallen. The decline in prices increased the pace after March 20, leading to the current cost, which is 2 times less than in the last days of March 2018, analysts at the Info-Shuvar information center said in a statement.
The decrease in radish prices is influenced by an increase in its supply. Lowering the cost greatly stimulates consumer interest in the product. Today on sale you can see radishes with tops and radishes with cut greens in impressive plastic bags.
