Earlier Report Observations

The Swiss market for fresh currants and gooseberries experienced notable fluctuations between 2018 and 2021. Market volume peaked at 712 tons in 2020, then contracted to 597 tons in 2021, reflecting variable production and import levels during this period.

From 2022 onward, underlying industry trends became more apparent. The steady expansion of total berry cultivation area in Switzerland, which surpassed 900 hectares, provided a foundation for domestic output. In 2023, market growth to 664 tons was supported by stable cultivation areas and a marked consumer shift toward sustainable diets, which boosted demand for organic produce and specialty varieties like Cassis and Jostabeeren.

By 2024, the market framework was further shaped by industry-led price reference systems and the continued strength of organic demand. The ongoing development of niche segments, including the expansion of production for specific berry types, indicated a maturation and diversification of the fresh currants and gooseberries sector in Switzerland.
