Poland becoming blueberry power
Blueberry consumption is growing every year, and Poland is benefiting from it. We are already the second exporter in the EU and the sixth in the world, as informs Economic Weekly of the Polish Economic Institute (PIE).
In 2018, we were the second-largest exporter of these fruits in the European Union and the sixth in the world. In the EU, only Spain is ahead of us. The USA is still the world leader.
A great boom for blueberries took place in 2014-2018 when the production of these fruits in Poland more than doubled. Last year it amounted to 25,500 metric tonnes, of which 6,700 tonnes went to export worth almost PLN 178 million.
