In 2026, a typical New Year’s table for a Ukrainian family of four will cost about 3,980 hryvnias, according to the National Research Center “Institute of Agrarian Economics”. This is 10.7% more than last year.<\/p>\n
The festive menu will include traditional dishes such as salads, meat, fish, vegetables, fruits, bread, and pastries, along with a variety of drinks. At current prices, the main dishes have also become more expensive. For example, three kilograms of ingredients for Olivier salad cost 406.87 hryvnias, which is 5.8% more than in 2025. The cost of sausage for this salad is 180 hryvnias per half kilogram, up 12.5% \u200b\u200bfrom last year. In contrast, prices for potatoes, carrots, and onions have decreased, while egg yolks, green peas, canned cucumbers, and mayonnaise have become more expensive.<\/p>\n
The price of “Herring under a fur coat” salad has increased to about 175 hryvnias, with the main cost being herring fillet. Prices for meat products have increased by 23%: raw smoked sausage “Braunshveyzka” – 410 hryvnias, bacon – 276 hryvnias, and pork knuckle – 339 hryvnias. Although poultry meat has also become more expensive, it remains the cheapest option: a kilogram of chicken fillet costs 244 hryvnias, and the total cost of 2.8 kilograms of meat products will be about 1,269 hryvnias.<\/p>\n
Traditional herring now costs 135 hryvnias for half a kilogram of fillet, and prices for dairy products have also increased: hard cheese reaches 176 hryvnias for 300 grams, and butter – up to 118 hryvnias for 200 grams.<\/p>\n
Thus, despite some decrease in prices for individual vegetables, the total cost of New Year’s celebrations has increased significantly, making it more expensive for Ukrainian families in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
