but with higher costs we hope to be able to compensate for this with larger harvest volumes," Widmann said there was a gap in the last two weeks of June The Bavarian blueberries are grown on 50 hectares near Aichach and marketed in Bavaria while the Romanian produce is sold in Romania and some in Germany and Austria The "fat blues" from Lüneburger Heide are in turn distributed throughout Germany 20 percent more blueberries from all three regionsFor Romanian blueberries there are good areas with sufficient pickers available coupled with good to very good climatic conditions we have already been harvesting for two weeks So the Romanian produce is the first to hit the market after the Spanish season before moving on to the German," Widmann says "Our affiliated growers in the Lüneburger Heide region who are managed by Nordgemüse Krogmann & Co. will also start the open ground harvest this week We expect about 20 percent more blueberries from Lüneburger Heide On the marketing of blueberries"Marketing the Bavarian blueberries in Bavaria is much easier because we can market them regionally this is not possible in the Lüneburg Heath in this way Our growers would like to see the 'German origin' highlighted and given more appreciation," says Widmann one finds the local produce in small formats while large formats are used for the foreign produce such as for the Romanian produce or also for the blueberries from Poland "The costs for the German goods are noticeably higher but unfortunately this is not rewarded in terms of price." why Peruvian blueberries are already on the shelves "When it's peak season in Europe and large quantities are already being marketed from countries like Germany we don't need additional blueberries from Peru packed in 125-gram trays." Especially since the local product is mainly marketed in 500 gram trays which Widmann says is both more sustainable and more cost-efficient Dominant variety: DukeHerbert Widmann also purchases additional goods from Serbia with the Serbian season lasting about three weeks and the early variety Duke arriving in the markets at about the same time as the Romanian goods the Duke variety also dominates in Germany and Romania "This is an early variety that has a lot of yield and is of good quality later varieties such as Drapers and Last Call are also becoming more popular," Widmann concludes For more information:Hans WidmannHerbert Widmann GmbHSchäftlarnstr. 1081371 MünchenTel: +49 89 76 44 18[email protected]  www.widmann-fruechte.de     FreshPublishers © 2005-2025 FreshPlaza.com
