Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for fresh currants and gooseberries in New Zealand declined sharply from 7 236 tonnes in 2018 to 4 568 tonnes in 2020. It then entered a recovery phase, rising to 4 635 tonnes in 2021 and reaching 5 008 tonnes by 2023.

The market's gradual recovery from 2021 onward coincided with growing consumer interest in fresh berries due to their health benefits and antioxidant properties. Additionally, strong export growth for blackcurrants to markets like China and Japan highlighted expanding international demand, which likely supported domestic production and market volume.
