Tridge summary

Serbia, the continent's largest raspberry producer, is projected to harvest 25-30 thousand tons of raspberries this year, a significant decrease from the 55 thousand tons harvested last year due to unfavorable weather conditions. The harvest is under threat from potential hail, and recent hail and floods have already damaged about 15% of the crop. The president of the Serbian Raspberry Producers Association, Dobrivoje Radovic, has indicated that the harvest in some areas has been reduced by 40-70% due to falling prices and lack of necessary agricultural measures. The minimum purchase price for raspberries from the 2024 harvest has been set at 3.4 euros/kg.
