영국 신선 블루베리 수입 시장 (6월, 2022)

The UK's blueberry harvest has commenced, with the volume of ripe fruits expected to increase in the next 2-3 weeks. Due to labor shortages and high costs, the harvest has been delayed, but this will not affect the fruit's shelf life or quality. Concerns about the rising cost of living are affecting demand for soft fruits. The UK can only provide a summer supply of blueberries, with Poland and Southern Europe providing the rest of the year's supply at competitive prices. To be more competitive, UK growers need to start harvesting with machines.
