The blueberry market in Europe is under extreme pressure caused by the arrival of large volumes of blueberries, mostly from Peru. Peru has sent at least 45% more blueberries to Europe compared to last season, which has negatively affected the prices at which this product is marketed. On Friday, November 4, prices for Biloxy variety blueberries ranged from USD 5.50/box (12 x 125 g/box), and for fruit packed in bulk, the price stood at USD 3.50/kg. Along with a greater number of volumes shipped to the EU, European consumption has decreased due to the reluctance of the final consumer to buy blueberries that can be considered a high-end products. This situation has slowed down sales, adding even more pressure to the situation, which is expected to last until at least the end of November.
