Fruit from fruit bushes and berry plantations in Poland

Due to drought and high air temperatures, many non-irrigated plantations experienced heavy fall of flowers, fruit buds, and later ripening fruit. For this reason, the raspberry harvest in 2022 was only about 1% higher compared to the previous year and amounted to about 105,000. t. The total harvest of black and colored currants was estimated at over 142 thousand. t, i.e. 6% less than the production level in the previous year, where the harvest of black currants amounted to approx. 100 thousand. t, which is almost 13% less than last year. Gooseberry production remained at the 2021 level and amounted to approx. 9.8 thousand. t. The strawberry harvest was estimated at approx. 180,000. t, which is 15% more than last year's production. The increase in the yield, despite the soil drought, which persisted for a significant part of the growing season, was possible thanks to the more and more commonly used irrigation systems on plantations. ...
