The primary harvest is set to begin on June 27. The Fruit-Union Switzerland (FUS) has announced that market-relevant quantities will be available from mid-June, with the three most significant harvest weeks being 26, 27, and 28. The harvest is projected to cover over 50% of the market demand.

The fruits are expected to be large and sweet due to favorable weather conditions in May.
