Warsaw: Red and Yellow Pepper Prices Reach €1.4–1.8/kg at Bronisze

Wholesale prices for Polish red and yellow peppers at the Bronisze market in Warsaw on 22 July 2026 stood at €1.4–1.8/kg, while green peppers traded at €1.2–1.4/kg. The season's supply is affected by weather-related challenges impacting crop quality.

At the Bronisze wholesale market in Warsaw on 22 July 2026, red and yellow peppers were offered at €1.4–1.8/kg (6–8 PLN/kg), while green peppers traded at €1.2–1.4/kg (5–6 PLN/kg). These prices reflect the mid-season availability of Polish peppers, with the main supply coming from domestic producers during peak harvest.

Growers have reported that high temperatures and periodic water shortages are impacting the quality and firmness of pepper crops this season. These weather conditions can lead to challenges in nutrient uptake, especially calcium, which is essential for maintaining tissue structure and post-harvest durability of peppers. As a result, some farms are experiencing localized quality issues, though overall supply remains stable.

Demand for fresh Polish peppers is strong at this stage of the season, with buyers focusing on fruit consistency and appearance. Wholesale markets are seeing steady movement of product, supported by ongoing domestic harvests.

On the import side, the European Union is preparing to ease trade barriers for Armenian vegetables, including peppers, following the Russian embargo on Armenian exports. While the scale of potential Armenian pepper imports to Poland is yet to be determined, industry sources indicate that increased competition on the European market may become apparent in the coming months.

Polish pepper growers are monitoring both domestic market conditions and possible shifts in import volumes as the EU considers temporary reductions in tariffs for selected fresh produce from Armenia.
