“…Sweet cherry production in Russia, Ukraine, and Romania is utilized domestically, while some cherries have been exported from the countries in this region to Russia. Overall, the response of suppliers in the region was weak; for example, the production of sweet cherries in Bulgaria decreased [Borovinova et al 2008].…”

“…Latvia, which continues to develop new sweet cherry varieties focusing on spring frost tolerance [Ruisa 2008], has a limited area of production and its crop is destined primarily for domestic consumption. In Bulgaria, the sweet cherry production expanded in the 1980s [Kramer 1985] and reached 11,004 hectares in 1990, but has since declined to 6800 hectares in 2002 [Borovinova et al 2008]. Sweet cherry cultivars grown in Bulgaria include "Bing", which has been outperformed in consumer tests [Turner et al 2008], while "Hedelfinska" and "Van" had shares of 14% and 9%, respectively, in the total area planted.…”

This study describes the development of sweet cherry production in Poland in the context of relationship between quality attributes and wholesale prices as well as modernization of orchards creating opportunities for increased exports. Global demand for sweet cherries increases because of their perceived unique health benefits, but the fruit must have the desired quality attributes. The link between quality attributes and prices is illustrated using the wholesale prices collected during the harvest season in years of limited and normal crop in Poland, respectively. Among the discussed varieties is ‘Cordia’ which dominates in the modern orchards. As the sweet cherry production declines in the region, with the introduction of modern production technology, the increasing yields and volume produced creates opportunities for increased exports also to countries outside the EU.
