Ukraine has been the world leader in net exports of frozen raspberries since 2024 and may continue this trend in the 2026/27 marketing year.
This forecast was presented by the Ukrainian Berries Association in its August report.
Experts noted that in June–May of the 2025/26 season, 63.3 thousand tonnes of frozen raspberries were exported worth €250.8 million (+65%), at an average price of €3.96/kg.
The new season started with higher prices. In particular, 2.15 thousand tonnes of products were exported in June at a price of €4.14/kg. The destinations were the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany.
«Due to Serbia’s poor harvest (-50%) and frosts in Poland, Ukraine has a chance to become the leader in terms of gross volume as well in the 2026/27 marketing year,» the Association believes.
They add that the sector’s focus on autumn varieties strengthens its export position. Therefore, producers are advised to plan berry procurement and secure contracts in advance.

Households with raspberry plantations covering 0.1–0.2 hectares account for 80% of raspberry production in Ukraine.

The choice of berry crops for investment in Ukraine increasingly depends not only on the potential price of the berries, but on the overall economics of production — yields, labour costs, opportunities for mechanisation and processing, and access to a guaranteed market.

Ukrainian raspberry and blueberry producers benefited from more favourable weather conditions in July, while the berry sectors in Poland and Serbia faced yield problems and labour shortages.
