The current week was marked for the Russian market by a significant reduction in the supply of berries such as raspberries, while the demand for this product does not decrease.

All these factors combined gave farmers the opportunity to increase the price of the berry beloved by Russians.

Contributed to the rise in price of raspberries and the weather. The fact is that long rains and low air temperatures in certain regions of the Russian Federation significantly slowed down the ripening of raspberry plantations, which also prompted manufacturers to increase the cost of the products that they managed to collect earlier.

Therefore, today a kilogram package of raspberries at retail outlets in the country costs an average of two hundred and fifty rubles to the Russian consumer. Market analysts say that raspberries, cheaper than two hundred rubles per kilogram, cannot be found on the Russian market today. The upper price limit in some areas reaches three hundred rubles per kilo.

For clarity, it should be noted that a week earlier similar goods cost buyers in the Russian Federation an average of thirty-three percent cheaper than today.

It is noteworthy that the rains not only slow down the ripening of the berries, but also prevent the farmers from entering the fields and harvesting. In addition, bad weather affects the quality of ripe raspberries and reduces its resistance to transportation costs.

However, even damaged raspberries today are much more expensive than at the end of last week, since the demand for this berry does not fall even with a loss in quality.
