The European frozen raspberry market is experiencing heightened activity and slight price increases at the start of the season. This trend is driven by reduced production in Serbia and potential harvest losses in Ukraine due to labor shortages and abnormal heat. The conflict in Ukraine further complicates the situation by affecting the freezing and storage of raspberries, necessitating quick sales. Additionally, the unpredictability of the remontant raspberry harvest season adds to market uncertainty, potentially leading to further price hikes in the EU market.
