Южная Америка стала крупнейшим поставщиком голубики на рынок Западной и Центральной Европы в 2025 году

South America was the largest regional source of blueberry imports into Western and Central Europe in 2025, supplying 162,290 tons, according to the IBO Global Blueberry Report 2026. This compares with 128,790 tons in 2024, representing an increase of approximately 26 per cent. South American volumes exceeded supplies originating within Western and Central Europe, which reached 126,650 tons, as well as the 124,220 tons supplied by Southern Europe and North Africa. The increase coincided with further growth in Western and Central European blueberry imports. The region imported 456,580 tons in 2025, up 16.6 per cent from 391,480 tons in 2024. In 2023, imports stood at 295,990 tons, meaning volumes increased by more than 160,000 tons over two years. For comparison, combined blueberry imports by the United States and Canada reached 403,590 tons in 2025, nearly 53,000 tons below Western and Central Europe's total. The United States remained the largest individual importing country, receiving 325,310 tons and accounting for 29 per cent of global import volume. Within Europe, the Netherlands handled 174,540 tons in 2025, compared with 143,400 tons in 2024. The country functions as an entry and redistribution point for blueberries destined for other European markets, meaning these volumes do not directly represent domestic consumption. UK imports increased from 71,800 tons to 82,630 tons, a rise of nearly 15 per cent. Scandinavian markets recorded growth of 42 per cent. The 2025 figures show South America accounting for the largest of the three main regional supply flows into Western and Central Europe's blueberry market. To view the full IBO report, click here.
