And I think we have a lot of reasons to believe that a lot of that will stay with us as people have increasingly made berries a part of their healthier lifestyle.” - Soren Bjorn “We were down, but we're not out. We've got a lot of fight left in us and there's a space in the global marketplace for all of us, and we need to carve that niche out. If we can do that with superior quality and better genetics, we're gonna be here now and well into the future.” - Brad Moorer “There are a lot of exciting opportunities ahead for blueberries, both in household penetration and a new global market. We have come a very long way to delight more consumers on a more consistent basis. I couldn't be more excited about what's yet to come in 2023 and beyond, but it's gonna take a great deal of innovation and collaboration to rise to this opportunity.” - Kasey Cronquist Crop Report The Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.
