Poland became the world's largest raspberry producer in 2012 displacing Serbia by over 25,000 metric tons and exporting around 90% of its crop.
The main reason Poland shot up to become #1 was the introduction of the “Polana” variety, which yields fruit for several months of the year. Another growth factor was EU subsidies launched in 2007 for growing soft fruit. Poland's raspberry fields grew to over 69,000 acres.
