An Unpredictable Summer: How UK Weather Has Impacted Soft Fruit Production.
This year’s cool and rainy UK summer has disrupted soft fruit production. Strawberries had a slow start due to the weather, but a brief spell of sunshine recently gave a short-lived boost, coinciding perfectly with Wimbledon as the demand increased. Our temperature-controlled storage units ensured strawberries will remain fresh.
Raspberries were limited this spring and summer as growers switched to new varieties, leading to a restricted early crop. However, we expect better volumes in the autumn as new crops produce. Do you need our temperature-controlled storage to be ready for keeping these raspberries at their best?
Cherries, on the other hand, have thrived, with UK-grown cherries available for four weeks and in excellent condition. Our bespoke temperature-controlled storage units maintain their freshness, ensuring they reach consumers perfectly.
In this unpredictable season, our bespoke temperature-controlled storage units have been crucial in preserving the quality of soft fruits. Let’s savour this summer’s harvest together!
