Tridge summary

The blueberry season is proceeding well, with satisfactory harvests from Morocco and Spain, and the start of the Portuguese season. The quality from Spain is declining due to high temperatures. Demand for blueberries is high with ongoing promotions. The Northern European season, including the Dutch and German, is expected to start three weeks earlier than usual. Despite potential overlap with other countries, a early start is beneficial as the main variety Duke has already been largely harvested, and Poland, the largest berry producer in Europe, will start late. The cultivation in the Netherlands and Germany looks promising, indicating a very good harvest in terms of quality.
