In Poland, the agricultural sector is experiencing significant changes in market prices for various berries due to a combination of increased global demand, adverse weather conditions, and production challenges in competitors' regions.

These developments highlight the complex interplay of weather, global market demands, and domestic production challenges in shaping agricultural prices and market dynamics.
