In 2019, raspberry producers plan to optimize existing berry plants due to the loss-making and lack of working hands. Unprofitable projects will be closed, and the remaining ones will be transferred to other technologies in order to increase profits, Alexander Yarechenko, deputy director for scientific work of the NAAS Gardening Institute, shares information.
The raspberry boom of the past years has passed and the increase in the production of berries in 2018 has led to the lowest prices for it over the past few years.
Now you can observe the transition of raspberry production from quantity to quality. In 2018, the market really needed high-quality raspberries, but it was not enough.Given this, this year, raspberry producers will invest not so much in expanding the area of berry plants as in improving the technological level. This will achieve a higher quality product.
