Strawberry Prices at Bronisze Drop Sharply in Late July Trade

Polish strawberry prices at the Bronisze wholesale market ranged from €1.4 to €6.9/kg (6–30 PLN/kg) on 20 July 2026, showing significant variance as the season enters its final phase.

On 20 July 2026, wholesale prices for strawberries at the Bronisze market near Warsaw stood between €1.4 and €6.9 per kilogram (6–30 PLN/kg), reflecting both late-season supply and differences in quality. The lower end of the price range indicates an oversupply of lower-quality fruit, while premium tunnel-grown or remontant varieties fetch higher prices.

Polish strawberry production currently focuses on remontant (everbearing) varieties, especially in tunnel cultivation near Legnica and central Poland. These tunnels allow for extended harvests and improved fruit quality later in the season, supporting continued availability on the market despite the main field harvest concluding in most regions.

Demand for high-quality strawberries remains stable, particularly for fruit destined for the fresh market and retail chains. However, the presence of lower-priced lots suggests ongoing competition from late domestic supply and possible imports, as well as variable fruit quality due to mixed weather conditions earlier in the season.

Growers using tunnel systems report ongoing harvests, with biological pest control methods increasingly used to maintain fruit quality. These methods are particularly important for premium fruit, which is reflected in higher wholesale prices at the upper end of the range.

Weather conditions in July have supported continued production in protected cultivation, but open-field supply is largely finished in most regions, leading to a gradual reduction in overall market volumes.
