Gourmet blueberries

Gourmet Trading Company is preparing for an early start to its California (CA) blueberry season. The company anticipates packing will begin over the coming days, capitalising on strong global demand for its offering on the back of the Chilean season.

“The season is set to begin three weeks earlier than previous years due to great weather in California,” Gourmet Trading’s marketing director Julia Inestroza said. “With the season starting so early we hope to satisfy the markets high demand for blueberries right after the Chilean season.”

Inestroza anticipates commercial volumes of fresh blueberries from Gourmet Trading’s Californian farm will be available until the end of June.
