Tridge summary

Serbia, the continent's largest raspberry producer, is projected to harvest 25-30 thousand tons of raspberries this year, a significant decrease from the 55 thousand tons harvested last year due to unfavorable weather conditions that have damaged crops and led to lower yields. Recent hail and floods have further damaged 15% of the crop, and in some areas, the harvest has been reduced by 40-70% due to falling prices and lack of necessary agrotechnical measures. The minimum purchase price for raspberries of the 2024 harvest is expected to be 3.4 euros/kg.
