Worldwide Production of Blackberries

Abstract

This review is based on a survey of worldwide blackberry production conducted in 2005. In 2005, there were an estimated 20,035 ha of blackberries planted and commercially cultivated worldwide, a 45% increase from estimated area in 1995. Wild blackberries still make a significant contribution to worldwide production with 8,000 ha and 13,460 tons harvested in 2004. There were 7692 ha of commercially cultivated blackberries in Europe with Serbia accounting for 69% of the area in Europe and also the largest producer in the world. The next largest producing countries in Europe were Hungary (1,600 ha),
