In order to begin explaining this topic to our readers, we must first answer one question – WHY ARE BLUEBERRY PLANTATIONS INTENSIVELY INCREASING IN SERBIA IN THE LAST 5 YEARS? –
The answer is very simple: The consumer and consumer has given his opinion, the fruit of Borovnica is a healthy and tasty thing and therefore should be added to people’s regular diet.
Data in the EU tell us that in the last three years the consumption of fresh blueberry fruit has been increasing at an annual level of 25 to 30% and that currently EU citizens are consuming around 650,000 tons of fresh blueberry fruit. But what is much more important, experts predict that in the next 7 years, the consumption of fresh blueberries in the world will increase to 2,000,000 tons annually.
Where is Serbia in all this? You could say in the Center of Events. Our climate area is specific and only here, blueberries ripen in the period from the end of May to the end of June. At that time, the world market was in deficit for this product, and our producers and investors saw an opportunity there.
Based on the amount of planting material imported to Serbia in the last 5 years, it is estimated that we currently have between 1,500 and 2,000 ha of blueberry plantations. The technology has gone in two directions, the first is cultivation in the soil with made banks, and the second is cultivation in the so-called substrates. semi-hydroponic growing method.
The company Agromarket doo, with its team of experts (Professional Service AGM) in the field of agriculture, has recognized the development and expansion of this fruit in Serbia and the Region, and intensively helps producers in the education of methods of cultivation, nutrition and protection, registration of new products for the protection and nutrition of blueberries and the production of healthy and correct fruit that will meet the demands of the market in our country and in the world.

And by applying these products, the producers will offer the market constant quality and healthy BLUEBERRY fruit, which is the only important thing in this business.
