Warsaw: Polish strawberry wholesale prices rise to €4.0–7.0/kg amid lower summer supply

Strawberry wholesale prices at the Bronisze market near Warsaw increased to €4.0–7.0/kg (17–30 PLN/kg) in early August, reflecting the limited availability of late summer Polish strawberries.

On 7 August 2026, wholesale prices for Polish strawberries at the Bronisze market in Warsaw ranged from €4.0 to €7.0 per kilogram (17–30 PLN/kg). This marks a significant increase compared to peak season levels in June, driven by reduced supply as the main harvest period concludes and only late cultivars or protected cultivation remain available in the market.

The current supply of Polish strawberries is limited, with most open-field production finished for the season. Remaining volumes originate primarily from tunnel or greenhouse cultivation, as well as some late varieties. Growers are focusing on preparing new plantations, with soil analysis and substrate management underway in regions such as Hornigi, Mazowieckie, to optimize conditions for next year's crop.

Demand for fresh Polish strawberries remains present due to their popularity and limited availability, supporting higher prices at wholesale markets. Retailers continue to offer domestic strawberries where possible, but shelf presence is increasingly restricted to specialty outlets or direct sales from growers with protected crops.

Weather conditions in July and early August have been generally favorable for tunnel and greenhouse cultivation, but have little effect on the overall supply, which is now dictated by the natural end of the open-field season. The current market situation reflects the seasonal decline in domestic strawberry volumes and the transition to autumn fruit offerings.
