On 5 August 2026, wholesale raspberry prices at the Bronisze market near Warsaw stood at €5.8–8.7/kg (25–37.5 PLN/kg), reflecting strong demand for high-quality fruit during the ongoing harvest. The current price range is supported by concerns over fruit firmness and shelf life, as high temperatures and intensive logistics pressure the fresh market segment.
The main summer harvest of long cane raspberries has concluded on many Polish plantations, and growers are now focusing on one-year-old canes, which have entered a period of vigorous shoot growth and early fruiting. The upper parts of the canes are already producing fruit, and further branching and flowering are observed, indicating the likelihood of a prolonged harvesting period for autumn varieties.
Poland is experiencing repeated heatwaves, with forecasts of continued high temperatures. These conditions are impacting both the pace of fruit ripening and the need for careful post-harvest handling to maintain commercial quality. Variability in day and night temperatures is also noted, influencing fruit development and shelf stability.
The demand for raspberries remains stable, with buyers prioritizing fruit firmness and durability due to rapid market turnover and the challenges posed by hot weather. No major disruptions in supply have been reported, and the availability of Polish raspberries is expected to continue into the autumn months, supported by the current growth stage of plantations.
Plant protection measures, including the use of biological and conventional fungicides, are being implemented to manage disease pressure during flowering and fruit setting, especially as environmental conditions favour rapid pathogen development.
