Kyiv to Host Weekend Farmers' Markets: Locations for Fresh Potatoes and Produce

Agricultural Markets Scheduled for Kyiv

According to Главком: Farmers' markets will be held across Kyiv this weekend, on February 28 and March 1, as announced by the city's Department of Industry and Entrepreneurship Development. These events come at a time when Ukraine is experiencing a notable price increase for potatoes, which have risen by an average of 17% since the start of the week. Ukrainian producers are currently offering potatoes for 7-14 UAH per kilogram, a price that is 17% higher than the previous week. Such markets are a common way for residents to buy fresh, local food directly from growers.

Market Locations and Details

On February 28, markets will operate in several districts of Kyiv:

• In the Holosiivskyi district on Pankivska Street (between Saksahanskoho and Zhylianska Streets) and at 4-10 Holosiivska Street.
• In the Darnytskyi district on Revutskoho Street.
• In the Desnianskyi district on Serzha Lyfaria Street (between Honore de Balzac Street and Chervonoi Kalyny Avenue).
• In the Dniprovskyi district at 2-12 Igor Shamo Boulevard.

Additional markets are scheduled for March 1 in these locations:

However, due to quarantine restrictions, markets will NOT be held at the following addresses:

• 25/2-29 Novopyrohivska Street in the Holosiivskyi district,
• 1-5 Petra Kalnyshevskoho Street and 1-9 Iordanska Street in the Obolonskyi district.

In addition to the weekend markets, several municipal markets in Kyiv will remain open for business:

• KP Volodymyrskyi Market at 115 Antonovycha Street,
• KP Zhytnii Market at 16 Verkhnii Val Street,
• KP Bessarabskyi Market at 2 Bessarabska Square.

The organization of these farmers' markets during a period of rising potato prices represents a significant effort to support both local producers and consumers. By enabling residents to purchase goods directly from the source, the markets may help alleviate some price pressures. Nonetheless, ongoing pandemic-related measures continue to impact public events, potentially limiting access for some Kyiv residents.
