Green pepper prices fall at Bronisze as supply increases (mid-June 2026)

Wholesale prices for green pepper at the Bronisze market near Warsaw have declined to about €1.6/kg (7 PLN/kg) due to a rise in domestic supply. The market is observing increased availability of Polish-grown peppers in the second half of June.

Green pepper prices at the Bronisze wholesale market, mid-June 2026, are reported at approximately €1.6/kg (7 PLN/kg), reflecting a decrease compared to previous weeks. The price drop is attributed to a marked increase in the supply of domestic green peppers as more Polish producers bring their product to market.

Market participants indicate that the expanded availability of green pepper is a direct result of the ongoing harvest from local producers. This seasonal influx has shifted the price downward, making green pepper more accessible to buyers and retailers. No significant price movements are reported for other pepper types, and no farm-gate prices are mentioned in the available data.

Demand for green pepper remains stable, with buyers responding to the lower prices and larger volumes on offer. There is no mention of export activity for Polish peppers at this stage of the season. Imports of pepper, particularly from Turkey and Egypt, remain under scrutiny in the EU due to concerns regarding pesticide residues, but no direct trade disruptions or changes in import volumes to Poland have been reported for June 2026.

Weather conditions in Poland during mid-June have been variable, with recent nights experiencing low temperatures in some regions, falling to as low as 5°C. However, the immediate forecast points to a sharp rise in temperatures, with weekend highs of 32–34°C expected in southern and western Poland, and the possibility of violent storms with hail and strong winds. Such weather events could pose risks to ongoing vegetable production, including peppers.
