A conference in Końskowola discussed the declining competition for Polish blackcurrants in the global market, with a focus on the scale of production, trends, and challenges in the industry. Dr. Piotr Baryła highlighted the decrease in competition, especially with New Zealand's declining production, and the potential for Polish processed currants in Southeast Asia. He also noted the significant drop in currant cultivation areas in Poland, despite an increase in plantations, and the negative effects of climate change, extreme weather, and diseases on production efficiency. Despite high purchase prices, processors are finding buyers for processed blackcurrants, but over 100 thousand tons of production could lead to lower purchase prices. These findings will be detailed in the January issue of the magazine Truskawka, Malina, Jagody.
