The National Cherry Producers Association in Poland is calling for an increase in cherry purchase prices due to rising production and labor costs. The association's president, Piotr Pasik, suggests that a kilogram of cherries for pressing should cost over PLN 2.00, and a kilogram of freezing cherries should cost around PLN 3.00. The proposed prices take into account the increased production costs and the impact of drought on fruitlet drop. The final yield for the season is uncertain due to the drought and limited protection and fertilization by growers. The coming season may also see a shortage of necessary cherry amounts for the freezing industry. Additionally, the article discusses concerns about harvest rates and potential impacts of unpredictable weather.
