Tridge summary

The blueberry season has had a rough start this year due to the after-effects of last year's El Niño and an increase in global consumption, leading to a supply shortage in the market.

The situation is further complicated by the extended supply period and the fact that Peru is not expected to reach its peak this year.

The supply is more distributed and the supply period will be extended for a while longer, but the expected volumes will not arrive," says Leisink. Leisink attributes the shortage on the market to the after-effects of last year's El Niño, but also to the increase in global ...
