Belgian fruit cooperative BelOrta has launched this season’s red berry campaign with sales kicking off recently and supply expected to last until Christmas.
Production of red berries is predicted to peak in July and August from 800 hectares grown under protection.
However this year's early variety, Junifer, comes one week later than last year.
BelOrta says approximately 350 metric tons (MT) will be sold between May and December with Jonkheer van Tets and Rovada varieties coming on stream in June and July.
Meanwhile, wild strawberries are also available now, while raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries and cassis berries will be available after July.
