Horror prices in the Hungarian markets: That's why they now measure the hit fruit of the season

Published 2021년 7월 15일

Tridge summary

Hungary's raspberry cultivation has seen a decline in area and stagnant yield, leading to insufficient domestic supply and the need for imports from countries like Spain, Italy, and South America. The total area for currants and blackberries has also decreased significantly due to unfavorable climatic conditions. As a result, raspberry prices have steeply increased, reaching up to 2800 HUF per kilogram. Despite these challenges, a farm in Rábapaty is successfully growing raspberries and strawberries without using chemicals. Berry prices are now 10-15% higher than last year.

In Hungary, this berry is currently grown on only 160-170 hectares, the yield has been stagnant between 800-1000 tons for years, and a similar volume can be expected this year as well.
