In contrast, European prices, particularly in France, indicate strong demand for premium varieties, maintaining their high value. The significant price rise in Berlin and Munich for Dutch and Greek strawberries suggests increased demand or reduced supply.
The overall trend in Poland suggests a preference for domestic over imported strawberries, with prices stabilizing or increasing slightly, whereas European markets highlight premium products commanding higher prices despite some fluctuations.

Given the seasonal nature of strawberries, it is likely that Polish markets will stabilize, with potential minor increases in domestic strawberry prices as supply-demand dynamics play out. European markets may continue to see high prices for premium varieties, with potential fluctuations depending on import volumes and consumer preferences.
