Poland produces a less 30% of blueberries this year
This year, Poland's blueberry season has been very atypical. It started at the end of June and it ended very fast. «The last weeks of August, most of the plantations no longer had fruit»explains Dominika Kozarzewska, president of the Cooperative of Berries in Poland.
He adds that because of the frosts, Poland's production has been much less than last year's. «We calculate a reduction of 30%; However, thanks to the cooperation of the producer groups, BerryGroup and Elliot, within the framework of the Polish Berry Cooperative, we have been able to meet the needs of all customers., keep going.
The season culminated in the participation of the Polish sector in the Asia Fruit Logistica trade fair, held in Hong Kong, where they met with their customers and made new contacts with Asian buyers. «This year, BerryGood, the cooperative's brand, has been well received in the Polish market and in some Asian markets, so we will expand sales of branded Polish blueberries to other countries in Asia», concludes Kozarzewska.
