Content of the study:MARKET OVERVIEW
1.1 Definition and scope of the study
The strawberry is a very common fruit worldwide, with over 600 varieties: Gariguette, Favette, Mara des bois... They can be sold on their own or processed (jam, compotes, cakes). In France, they are harvested in spring. Production fluctuates considerably according to weather conditions, and frost can be the cause of very poor harvests.
The world's top 2 strawberry producers are China and the United States. Production is highly concentrated, with the world's top 10 producers accounting for 80% of total output. In Europe, the most prolific producers are Spain, the Netherlands and France.
France is the 6ᵉ largest importer of strawberries, although it remains a producer country (75,700 tons produced in 2021) with distribution of its production mainly through short distribution channels (three main regions: South-East, South-West, Centre-West). Imported strawberries are bought by consumers in super or hypermarkets.
Against a backdrop of falling purchasing power and inflation, which has led to a drop in demand and a desire on the part of supermarkets to maintain their margins, French strawberries are finding it hard to compete with less expensive Spanish strawberries. This has led to massive imports from southern European countries, even though, paradoxically, the harvest in France in 2022 was very good. It should be noted that the behavior of the strawberry market is very different from one country to another, and varies from year to year as production fluctuates widely. Consumption, on the other hand, remains stable overall.
France is a modest producer of strawberries, but organic strawberries are a great success in France, and over 50% of them are of French origin.
