Tridge summary

This season, cherries have surged in popularity among Polish gardeners due to rising prices, resulting in a high demand for cherry seedlings, which are now scarce. Maciej Lipecki from the Lipecki nursery notes that cherry cultivation in Poland is cyclical, influenced by market prices and labor availability. The transition from manual to mechanized harvesting has also changed planting practices. Additionally, a shortage of frozen cherries and currants in the EU has increased demand for cherries and other berries. Eastern Europe, especially Ukraine, Hungary, and Serbia, has become a key region for cherry processing due to favorable climate conditions and lower production costs.
