Polish blueberry prices remain high at Bronisze despite growing supply
Wholesale prices for Polish blueberries in early July 2026 are holding at €7.0–8.2/kg (30–35 PLN/kg) at Bronisze, even as supply increases. High production costs and recent weather events are influencing the market.
On the Bronisze wholesale market near Warsaw, Polish blueberries are trading at around €7.0–8.2/kg (30–35 PLN/kg) in early July 2026. At the Poznań WGR wholesale market, prices are even higher, reaching €9.3–10.5/kg (40–45 PLN/kg). On the Kalisz exchange, a 250 g pack of domestic blueberries sells for €2.3 (10 PLN), equivalent to €9.3/kg, while imported blueberries are offered at €1.9–3.3 per 250 g (€7.4–13.1/kg). In Łódź at the "Zjazdowa" market, a 125 g pack is priced at €2.1–2.3 (9–10 PLN). Retail promotions in supermarket chains have been observed, with Polish blueberries offered at €1.2/125 g (€9.6/kg) in Lidl on July 1.
Grower and farm-gate prices at the start of the season are reported above €4.7/kg (20 PLN/kg), with expectations that they may fall to €2.3–2.8/kg (10–12 PLN/kg) at the height of the harvest if supply peaks. Producers note that production costs are now over €3.5/kg (15 PLN/kg), raising concerns about profitability if prices drop further during peak supply.
The harvest is gaining momentum across Poland. Western regions started picking earlier than central and eastern areas, which is expected to spread out peak supply and may help moderate sudden price drops. Despite local damage from spring frosts and recent heatwaves, most plantations still show good yield potential, and production may exceed earlier expectations.
Demand has been somewhat unstable due to heatwaves, with many market stallholders and bazaar sellers reducing activity during the hottest days. However, blueberries and cherries are now the dominant summer fruits on wholesale markets, replacing strawberries as their season ends.
Recent weather has caused some losses, especially pomace and shrivelling of berries on lighter soils and in unprotected fields. Plantations under hail nets and those with efficient irrigation have fared better, but symptoms of drought are visible even with regular drip irrigation.
