Raspberry prices in Q1 2026 were shaped by a tug-of-war between robust upstream supply from Mexico and accelerating costs across the supply chain. Through January and into February, the market was well-supplied as Mexico, covering roughly 96% of US winter raspberry imports during the October-to-May window and producing 219,000 MT annually, was deep in its peak harvest cycle, with December and February representing its two highest output months of the year. With ample volumes moving across the border and USMCA exemptions cushioning the fresh produce trade from the broader February tariff regime, wholesale markets absorbed supply without significant price volatility. As Q1 progressed into March, however, rising diesel prices, elevated cold-chain costs, and climbing fertiliser input prices began putting upward pressure on the supply chain.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, with energy and logistics costs remaining elevated and Mexican planted area continuing to expand, the market faces a competing dynamic of supply growth against rising input costs, keeping prices volatile in the near term.

The global market for Raspberries experienced upward price movements throughout the fourth quarter, driven primarily by substantial production shortfalls in major supplying regions. Serbia, one of the world's largest raspberry producers, faced severe production losses due to extreme weather conditions, including devastating droughts and destructive freezes, resulting in dramatically reduced harvest volumes compared to typical seasonal output. This supply constraint created tightness across European markets that traditionally rely on Serbian production.
Moroccan raspberry production emerged as a key market stabilizer during the quarter, with producers experiencing sustained high demand across multiple European destinations. Early quality concerns related to adverse weather conditions in northern growing regions dissipated as improved conditions prevailed, enabling strong harvest quality in central and southern production areas. Export activity from Morocco accelerated substantially, with frozen raspberry prices reaching historically elevated levels compared to the previous year.
Demand remained strong across major consuming markets, including France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, as buyers sought alternative supply sources to offset Serbian production gaps. Trade flows shifted notably toward Moroccan suppliers, with export volumes reaching record levels during the quarter. The combination of reduced global supply and consistent consumption patterns supported elevated pricing structures throughout the period.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, raspberry prices are expected to remain elevated in the near term as supply constraints persist and seasonal production transitions between regions continue.
