The article provides an overview of strawberry prices and production in Russia, as reported by the Berry Union and other experts. In the second half of May, strawberry prices in non-chain retail remained similar to the previous year, with the highest prices in Primorye and the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and the lowest in Crimea, Krasnodar region, and Stavropol region. The cost of strawberry production increased by 20-30% due to factors like lack of seasonal workers, increased wages, higher prices for planting material, and adverse weather conditions.
