What are the prices of strawberries in Poland?

2021-05-24 11:55
This is the second season on the strawberry market taking place during the coronavirus pandemic. But the situation here is different from that of last May. Then, there was much more uncertainty in the market, confusion over logistics and shortages of labour. There is no shortage of problems in this area now either, but the market has managed to adapt to the realities of a permanent crisis.
 
The weather realities are also different to last year and, after all, the weather has a huge impact on the situation in strawberry cultivation and trade. Last year's spring, although also cool, was warmer than the current one, but in May 2020 we had frosts which significantly damaged strawberry plantations. As a result, there was not much fruit in the last decade of May last year. But there was more than now.
 
Now there were no frosts, but the cold period this spring was very long, which delayed the whole campaign. And also the demand for strawberries is, it seems, stronger than a year ago. In addition, there is less imported fruit. All this translates into high wholesale prices.
 
 
Currently, prices at the large wholesalers range from 13.00-18.00 PLN/kg. Yesterday, in Nowy Przybojewo, strawberry prices were at 28-30 PLN  per tub of Honoeye, 28-35 PLN per tub of Rumba, 25-30 PLN per tub of Asia and 30-32 PLN per tub of Alba. This morning prices were at generally similar levels. Rumba 25-35 PLN, Alba 30-35 PLN/kg, Roxana 28-34 PLN for tub.
 
As you can see on the graph, the prices of domestic wholesale strawberries are falling quite dynamically (-31% in one week). However, despite this significant decrease, the average price of strawberries remains higher than in the same period last year. Thus, it is also the highest in at least the last six seasons.
