Warsaw: Red Currant Prices at €2.3–3.5/kg Amid End of Harvest

Red currant wholesale prices at the Bronisze market near Warsaw on 6 August 2026 ranged from €2.3 to €3.5/kg (10–15 PLN/kg), reflecting the end of the domestic harvest season.

At the Bronisze wholesale market near Warsaw, red currant (porzeczki czerwone) prices on 6 August 2026 were reported at €2.3–3.5/kg (10–15 PLN/kg). This price range is typical for the closing phase of the domestic currant season, when supply begins to decline as harvests end across major growing regions.

The 2026 currant harvest in Poland concluded in early August, with growers reporting significant pest pressure during the season, particularly from aphids and spider mites. Periods of drought and heatwaves in several regions affected plant health and required intensified crop protection measures.

Following the end of the main harvest, the availability of fresh Polish red currants at wholesale markets has decreased. No significant imports of currants have been reported at this stage, and domestic supply dominates current market offerings.

Demand for red currants typically peaks earlier in the summer and tapers off as the season ends. Current buyer activity at wholesale markets such as Bronisze is focused on securing the last batches of fresh fruit for processing and retail.

Weather conditions during the 2026 season, including recurring hot and dry spells, contributed to increased pest infestations, especially on plantations that did not implement intensive protection measures. Plant health after harvest is being monitored closely to ensure good bud formation for the following year.
