Tridge summary

The article highlights a significant decrease in Serbia's export of frozen raspberries, with figures showing a 30% drop in January compared to the previous year, and an additional 50% drop in exports to Germany. This decline is attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing war in Ukraine. Furthermore, there has been a shift in preference towards cheaper fruits for processing, leading to reduced prices for raspberries and blackberries. Consequently, Serbian farmers may face challenges with their raspberry price forecasts, as the market adjusts to these changes.

Serbian farmers' previous forecasts for raspberry prices may turn out to be optimistic, said Alexander Bogunovic, Secretary of the Crop and Food Industry Association of the Serbian Chamber of Commerce (SCC). It is reported by AgroTimes with reference to SadyOgrody. The expert notes that the export of frozen raspberries has decreased significantly over the past two years due to the Covid crisis and the war in Ukraine, so 5,570 tons were exported in January, or 30% less than in the same period last year. To Germany, the most important market for Serbian raspberries, exports fell by half this January compared to 2021, explains Bogunovic.
