Strawberries Price Trend Analysis 2026: Latest News, Price Drivers, Supply Demand Analysis, Historical Prices & Market Insights
Strawberries Price Trend Q1 2026
- Global strawberry markets showed mixed momentum during Q1’26 as weather-related supply disruptions in Europe tightened availability, while stable greenhouse cultivation in Asia balanced regional supply conditions.
- Production and logistics costs increased due to higher fertilizer, labour, cold-chain transportation, and packaging expenses, while Strait of Hormuz disruptions raised refrigerated shipping and freight uncertainty.
- Demand from retail, dairy, bakery, confectionery, frozen fruit, and beverage sectors remained firm, supported by seasonal consumption and foodservice recovery across major consuming regions.
Strawberry market sentiment remained regionally uneven during Q1’26 due to fluctuating harvest conditions and changing trade flows across Europe, Asia, and North America. In Europe, unfavourable weather in Italy and Greece reduced early-season strawberry yields by nearly 30–40%, tightening premium-grade supply and increasing reliance on greenhouse-grown Belgian and Dutch volumes. Spanish strawberry markets later faced supply pressure as harvest arrivals from Huelva accelerated during the quarter, increasing regional availability. In Asia, greenhouse cultivation in China, Japan, and South Korea supported stable supply, although South Korean strawberry prices rose due to weather-related production disruptions and lower yields. Trade activity weakened in smaller regional markets, with Georgia’s strawberry imports declining to 504 tons in Q1’26 from 646 tons a year earlier, while exports dropped sharply from 122 tons to only 29 tons, reflecting softer regional trade movement. North American markets remained comparatively balanced as California and Florida production supported retail and foodservice demand, although labour shortages and higher cold-storage costs affected harvesting economics. The Iran war and Strait of Hormuz disruptions indirectly increased refrigerated freight and packaging transportation costs, particularly for export-oriented suppliers.

The strawberry market witnessed a fluctuating price trend during H2 2025, which was influenced by weather disruptions, regional changes, and demand patterns. In the European region, the strawberry price trend displayed softness, followed by a recovery because of the effects of cool weather, which slowed down the ripening process. In Italy, there was a decrease in the price of strawberries at the beginning of the period, followed by a recovery. In France, there has been a slight decrease in national production because of heat stress and pest incidence during the growing period. The Netherlands witnessed a stable supply of strawberries with firm prices because of consistent demand. In North America, there has been a continued harvesting process in California and Mexico, but the quality of strawberries was affected by weather disruptions as well as reduced days for proper growing. South Africa faced a brief oversupply episode driven by heat-accelerated ripening, though prices recovered as stock levels normalised. Export activity to the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Indian Ocean island markets provided additional demand support.
