Frozen raspberry market in the EU – when will the free fall in prices stop?
EastFruit team is starting a series of market reports on frozen berries, fruits and vegetables. The first analytical report will be devoted to raspberries – the key product that gave impetus to the development of shock freezing industry in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
Before moving on to the crisis in which the European and global frozen raspberry market found itself in January 2023, let’s take a short digression into history.
Historical context that led to rapidly falling frozen raspberry prices
After the unusually high prices of raspberries in 2021, farmers in many countries became massively interested in its cultivation and began expanding plantations. Even counties, which have never produced raspberries commercially, such as Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, joined this trend.
EastFruit is an analytical platform that helps in the development of the fruit and vegetable business. The main goal of this platform is to increase the incomes of producers through more efficient production, storage, processing and marketing of fruits and vegetables. EastFruit is a center of knowledge and experience for all participants in the fruit and vegetable market in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Europe.
The portal is aimed at fruit and vegetable producers, small and medium farmers, producers of fruit and vegetable juices, fruit and vegetable processing, exporters, importers, supermarket chains, suppliers of seedlings, seeds, technologies and equipment, as well as associations and unions of fruit and vegetable producers, state structures and suppliers of services and products for the agricultural sector. In short, for all participants in the fruit and vegetable business.
