Jagoda iz Semberije: Kvalitetna i svježa!

The strawberry season across Semberija began in mid-May, and unlike last year's this season has cooler and more variable weather conditions They slowed the plant's development and delayed the start of harvesting. Proškovi's raw materials, protection agent and fuel irrigation system They have significantly increased compared to previous years, manufacturers say. At the same time, the market is unstable due to large quantities of imported goods. which often lowers the price of domestic products. It's all a huge lie. Everything is unstable. The market is unstable. Every year, the discrepancies are growing larger. The weather conditions are becoming increasingly unstable every year, you see. We had a minus on May Day this year. Market rumors fluctuate with the market. See how everything comes to us. I still think the quality will pass. The time will come when people know what they want, what to buy. Vakšić has been involved in strawberry production for over three decades. On an area of about 2 to 2.5 hectares, thousands of seedlings are cultivated. He says that purchase and sales prices at the beginning of the season are generally satisfactory. Later, prices fall due to increased supply and import competition. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find seasonal workforce. The harvesters' journals are more numerous than in previous years. Labor is becoming increasingly expensive, and we are not achieving that effect. Last year the price was good, meaning we all made a profit. This year, the price was higher, especially for those first strawberries. However, when it comes to the value of money, it is not. For six, seven, eight, there is enough darkness. That's not our price; we're giving it at a great discount. Some people who sell tobacco and taverns by the kilogram for 2-3, they have to make a living. Of course, they need something for their existence, but if that price remains. However, now this suddenly heats up, now it will be, I don't expect it, but gladly, but the price will drop slightly. Despite the problems, the Vakrić family continues production and plans to maintain the existing area under potato cultivation. Strawberry production in Semberija continues to represent one of the more significant types of fruit cultivation in this region. Agricultural experts warn that without greater investments and systemic support, it will become increasingly difficult to maintain the current level of production.
