Strawberries grown in Latvia are already available on the central market; the price is not for everyone

He said that early Latvian strawberries appeared in the Central Market about a week ago, and currently their price is 15 euros per kilogram.

According to him, Polish and Greek strawberries are also available in the Central Market, with prices ranging from above the euro to three euros per kilogram.

A representative of SIA “Ar B Agro”, the largest rose grower in the Baltics, revealed that it is possible to buy the first strawberries in the “Ar B Agro” nursery in Rožulejs, Sēme Parish, for about a week. Strawberry prices vary depending on the amount of strawberries purchased by the customer – whether they are bought by wholesalers, supermarkets or people for their own consumption. This week for self-consumption land “Ar B Agro” is available for 12 euros per kilogram. We can’t say what the price will be next week.

An entry on Facebook published by “B Agro” about a week ago shows that the price of the first strawberries was 15 euros per kilogram. The strawberry company grows 800 square meters in a greenhouse.

According to the information provided by the Latvian Fruit Growers’ Association (LAA), Latvian strawberry growers have hopes for a better harvest this year than last year.

“The biggest strawberry growers say that even last year the strawberries did not bloom as well and the gardens did not look as good as this year. It looks like this year’s strawberry harvest will be good,” said LAA representative Renate Kajaka this week.

According to her, so far the first strawberry harvests have been harvested by Latvian growers who grow strawberries in tunnel-type pavements. In turn, strawberries grown in the open are still in bloom and will arrive as usual next year around Midsummer.

“Rīgas centrāltirgus” was founded on November 2, 1930, but has been operating as a Riga municipal joint stock company since 1995.
