Warsaw: August Strawberry Prices Remain High at Bronisze Market

Strawberry prices at the Bronisze wholesale market in mid-August 2026 remain elevated, reflecting limited late-season supply on the Polish market.

On August 17, 2026, wholesale prices for strawberries at the Bronisze market in Warsaw ranged from €3.9 to €5.8 per kilogram (17–25 PLN/kg). These prices are significantly above the typical early summer levels, indicating a sharp decrease in domestic supply as the main harvest season has ended.

Most of the current strawberry volume on the Polish market originates from late-bearing varieties or greenhouse production, with field harvests largely concluded across the country. The reduced availability is typical for this period, as the majority of open-field strawberries are no longer present in wholesale channels.

Demand for fresh strawberries remains moderate, primarily driven by niche buyers and retailers seeking out-of-season fruit. The higher prices reflect both limited supply and continued consumer interest despite the seasonal transition to other berries and stone fruits.

Weather conditions earlier in the season generally supported good yields, but by mid-August, only specialized producers with late or remontant cultivars are able to supply strawberries to the market. Imports of strawberries are not significant at this point, with domestic supply dominating the available volumes.

The ongoing high prices at wholesale level indicate that the Polish strawberry market is entering its off-peak phase, with prices expected to remain elevated until the start of the next domestic season.
