Tridge summary

Berries are becoming increasingly popular in Europe, with demand for imported fruit growing steadily as not all countries are self-sufficient. The cultivation of berries in Hungary has shown a decreasing trend due to unfavorable climatic conditions and lack of irrigation and manual labor. Most berries are imported from outside Europe, with raspberries mainly coming from Italy, Spain, and Morocco, and blackberries mainly from Mexico. Red currants are almost always Italian. The market for berries is expected to continue growing due to the Christmas holidays. Spanish raspberry production decreased by 11.9% in 2021, but exports increased nearly 58% from the 2015/16 season.

Berries are becoming increasingly popular in Europe. But as not all of these countries are self-sufficient, the demand for imported fruit is growing steadily. However, only some of them come from other European countries and some come from outside the continent, the National Chamber of Agriculture (NAK) wrote based on the latest analysis from Freshplaza. According to the database of the Central Statistical Office (CSO) in Hungary, currants were grown on 1,170 hectares, raspberries on 253 hectares and strawberries on 846 hectares in 2020.
