Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh currants and gooseberries in Norway reached 701 tonnes in 2018, supported by domestic production of 676 tonnes. However, local supply was constrained, as highlighted by major processor Lerum's reliance on imports due to limited Norwegian output. Growing consumer interest in organic berries also began to shape production focus during this period. The market volume dipped to 682 tonnes in 2019 before a slight rebound to 688 tonnes in 2020.

A pronounced downturn occurred in 2021, with the market contracting by 18% to 563 tonnes as production fell to 533 tonnes. This sharp decline is consistent with the high sensitivity of blackcurrant yields to annual climatic variations, a key factor noted for commercial cultivation. Market volume then stabilised, registering 564 tonnes in 2022 and 516 tonnes in 2023.

Recent developments point to a potential shift in market dynamics. By 2025, applications for production subsidies for blackcurrants had doubled, indicating increased grower commitment. The launch of the RibesMAX research project aims to enhance domestic production and value addition. Furthermore, evolving consumer preferences towards fresh berries and health-oriented products, alongside updated regulations for plant protection products, are actively influencing the market environment.
