Tridge summary

The article reports on the recent harvest projections for various berries and fruits, including raspberries, currants, blueberries, strawberries, and other fruits from fruit shrubs and berry plantations. The raspberry harvest is projected to increase by 6% from the previous year, reaching 110,000 tons, largely due to an expansion in planting areas. However, favorable weather conditions were not met, which could affect the final yield. The currant harvest is expected to remain stable at 152,000 tons. The blueberry harvest is anticipated to rise by 14% from last year, but the exact figure depends on the September and October harvest. Strawberry production is projected to increase by 18% to 184,000 tons. The gooseberry harvest is expected to decrease by 5% compared to the previous year. The production of other fruits from fruit shrubs and berry plantations in orchards is projected to decrease by 6% from 2021, with chokeberry and haskap berry having the largest share. The small harvest of chokeberry is attributed to low purchase prices, leading to a lack of profitability for producers.

The raspberry harvest was assessed slightly above 110 thousand. t, which is 6% more than last year's. The higher level of fruit production of this species was mainly due to the growing area of raspberry plantings. In turn, the weather conditions this year were not conducive to obtaining high yields. Due to the relatively low importance of repeated fruiting raspberries cultivation, the final production result should not change significantly. The total production of currants, ie black and colored currants in total, was estimated at 152 thousand. t, and therefore at a level similar to the harvest of the previous year. Due to the heavy fall of fruit caused by drought, the black currant harvest was estimated at 105 thousand. t, i.e. 9% less than in 2021. The production of highbush blueberry was estimated at almost 63 thousand. t, ie more by 14% than last year, but the final result will depend on the course of the harvest in September and October. This year's strawberry production was ...
