Over the past month, raspberry prices in Spain rose due to a supply shortage. In Madrid, wholesale prices of fresh raspberries increased by 6.4% to EUR 10.64/kg on July 3 from EUR 10.00/kg on June 5. Raspberry supply is currently limited across most markets as the Spanish campaign has concluded with lower volumes sold than the previous season. Data provided by industry marketers indicates an estimated average decrease in volume of 21% until the end of April. Consequently, the reduced supply has resulted in growers receiving prices that exceed the average of recent years. Prices are expected to remain elevated for the rest of the month due to the low end-of-season volumes.
