Raspberries of Exceptional Quality This Year
At a yesterday's meeting of the management and representatives of the International Raspberry Organization (IRO), the state of production of this fruit species, extremely important for many of the organization's members, was presented. IRO members include, in addition to our country, Chile, Poland, China, Canada, Mexico, Bulgaria, Great Britain (England and Scotland), Peru, Ukraine, and the USA, and these countries produce over 70 percent of the world's raspberry production.
TL;DR
- Serbia's raspberry production fluctuates due to climate and price variations.
- This year's raspberries are of exceptional quality due to favorable weather and past high prices.
- Serbia is importing more raspberries due to decreased domestic production.
- Dr. Aleksandar Leposavić presented Serbia's raspberry situation at the IRO meeting in Guadalajara.
- Innovative preparations developed by domestic scientists help plants absorb moisture during extreme temperatures and drought.
- Recommendations were made for stabilizing raspberry production, processing, and protecting stakeholders, as the industry generates over $350 million annually.
- A Mexican company invited Dr. Leposavić for a working visit due to his contributions.
