The Dutch Blueberry Market Price Remains Stable in W48

The Dutch blueberry market appeared to have finally bounced back in W47 after a long series of low prices, with the price stable at USD 8.45/box for 12x125g/box. However, it is not certain that this momentum will last all the way through the season. This is because, despite the volume of blueberries arriving in Europe decreasing weekly, Peru has shipped 38% more blueberries to Europe to date than in the 2021 season. By the end of the season, projections indicate that Europe will receive 74,000MT of blueberries, up from 54,000MT in the 2021 season. This increase in supply had and continues to have an impact on the market, which has yet to recover after a series of difficult weeks. At the end of W48, the blueberry prices stood at USD 7.39–9.51/box for 12x125g/box and approximately around USD 4.49-5.28/kg for fruit packed in bulk format.
