Blackberries are a local favorite and an important export crop. The main varieties of blackberry grown in Serbia include Thornfree, Cacak Thornfree, and Black Satin. Most blackberries in Serbia are still grown on small farms according to traditional techniques of cultivation. Picking or harvesting is done only by hand.
Blackberries are grown on 5.3 thousand hectares throughout Serbia. With an average yield per hectare of 4.8 tons, Serbia produced 25 thousand tons of blackberries in 2004. There is an upward trend in Serbian blackberry production indicating that Serbia may become one of the leading producers of blackberries in Europe. Out of total blackberry production in Serbia 84% goes to export. The majority of Serbian blackberries for export are frozen (90%), while a smaller amount is chilled (10%) and exported fresh. Most exports go to the European Union. |
