In 2023, the import of fresh raspberries, blackberries, mulberries, and loganberries to the UK was at 32.198 million kilograms. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady increase in imports, starting from 33.243 million kilograms in 2024 to 37.594 million kilograms in 2028. This represents a consistent annual growth rate reflecting a yearly increase in import volume. Year-on-year variations indicate a stable growth trajectory, with notable increases projected over the forecast period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years stands at approximately 4%.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of climate change on berry harvests, fluctuations in international trade policies, and consumer demand shifts towards organic and sustainably sourced products. The UK's focus on healthy eating and functional foods may further boost demand.
