The forecast for under-glass strawberries harvested in the UK indicates a decreasing trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 18.63 thousand metric tons in 2024, there is a consistent decline in production volume each year, reaching 18.09 thousand metric tons in 2028. This downward trend suggests stock challenges or environmental impacts might be influencing yields. It is important to note that in 2023, the production was higher than in 2024, reflecting an ongoing decrease.
Future trends to watch for:
- Advancements in greenhouse technologies that could improve yield efficiencies.
- Potential changes in consumer demand affecting production incentives.
- Impact of climate change and weather patterns on strawberry cultivation.
- Trade policies and market access implications post-Brexit influencing export potential.
