The Khachapuri Index recorded an overall monthly decline in March, with cheese (-2.5%) and milk (-0.9%) contributing significantly to this decrease. This aligns with seasonal trends in local dairy production, which typically increases in spring, pushing prices lower. Additionally, the start of Great Lent on March 3rd may have contributed to reduced demand for dairy products, further driving down prices.

Other khachapuri ingredients mostly saw slight price drops, including flour (-0.8%), eggs (-0.8%), and yeast (-0.3%). The exception was butter, which saw a notable increase of +3.4% compared to February.
