Tridge summary

Cherry picking has commenced in southern Serbia, with prices ranging from 70 to 85 dinars per kilogram. However, this year's harvest is expected to be extremely weak, with a 30% decrease compared to last year and a 50% decrease compared to 2022. The decrease in the harvest is due to high temperatures and dry winds during the flowering period, as well as diseases such as moniliosis.
