December Export Price Update of Quick-Frozen Raspberry Crumbles
Since May 2025, the price of raspberry raw materials has been on a continuous upward trend, leading to a steady rise in the price of quick-frozen raspberries. In December, the FOB Qingdao price increased by 8%-10% month-on-month compared with November. This is mainly due to the tightening global supply of raspberry raw materials and the strong demand from food processing enterprises for centralized procurement at the end of the year.
As a professional quick-frozen fruit exporter with years of experience, Qingdao Green Farm Food Co., Ltd. always adheres to strict quality control standards. All raspberry crumble products of the company adopt individual quick freezing (IQF) technology to lock in the flavor, nutrition and freshness of fresh fruits to the greatest extent. The products have obtained a number of international certifications including the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Food Technical Standard, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Kosher, and are exported to many regions such as Europe, North America and the Middle East.
1.Ensuring Raw Material Supply and Stabilizing Order Delivery
2.
In response to the current tight supply of raspberry raw materials, Qingdao Green Farm Food Co., Ltd. renewed the cooperation agreement with a core raw material supplier—a raspberry base in Liaoning Province—on December 8, 2025. The company locked in the supply of quick-frozen raspberries at the end of the season from the base in advance, effectively ensuring the stable production capacity of raspberries from December 2025 to January 2026.
The base is specialized in high-quality raspberry cultivation and strictly controls pesticide residues, microorganisms and heavy metal content in accordance with organic standards. This contract renewal not only guarantees the stable supply of raw materials, but also lays a solid foundation for maintaining the consistency of product quality. At present, the company's monthly production capacity of quick-frozen raspberry crumbles can reach 1,500 tons, which is sufficient to fully meet the delivery needs of long-term cooperative customers in the United States, Israel and other countries.
2. Surging End-of-Year Demand: Capacity Expansion and Quality Improvement Fuel Market Growth
Driven by the stocking spree before the double festivals of New Year's Day and Spring Festival, the market demand for quick-frozen raspberry crumbles has surged recently. The latest data from Qingdao Green Farm Food shows that the company's order volume of raspberry crumbles in November 2025 increased by 25%-30% month-on-month, with particularly strong demand from downstream sectors such as baking, beverages and prepared dishes.
To meet the booming market demand, the company has launched full-capacity production mode. It has also optimized the production process by adding advanced sorting equipment, reducing the impurity rate of raspberry crumbles to below 0.1% and further improving product quality. Meanwhile, the company provides flexible and diversified packaging solutions, including 10 kg per carton bulk packaging, 1 kg × 10 packs per carton specification, as well as customized labeling services, fully satisfying the diverse needs of global customers.
Market Analysis: Price Trend and Industry Dynamics Drivers of Price Increase
Raw Material Shortage：Major northern hemisphere producing regions such as California in the United States and Northeast China have experienced low-temperature and rainy weather, resulting in a 15%-20% reduction in raspberry output and a 12%-18% increase in raw material purchase prices. In addition, the cost of greenhouse insulation and labor in winter has increased by 5%-10% year-on-year.
Supply Chain Pressure：Low-temperature weather has driven up cold chain logistics costs by 5%-8% and increased product loss rates simultaneously; the continuous rise in packaging and energy costs has further pushed up the overall processing costs.
Strong Demand：Centralized procurement by food processing enterprises at the end of the year has exacerbated the imbalance between market supply and demand. At the same time, the slight appreciation of the RMB has prompted export enterprises to adjust prices to offset exchange costs, with a price adjustment range of about 3%-5%.
Future Price Trend
Short-term (January-February 2026)：During the stocking period before New Year's Day and Spring Festival, product prices will remain high and stable, with the fluctuation range controlled within ±3%.
Medium-term (March-April 2026)：New-season raspberries from major southern hemisphere producing regions such as Chile and Peru will come into the market, and the global market supply will gradually recover. Product prices are expected to drop by 5%-8%.
Long-term (Full Year 2026)：If the climate conditions in major producing regions return to normal and raw material production capacity recovers, the market price of quick-frozen raspberry crumbles is expected to fall back to the level of the third quarter of 2025, showing an overall trend of "stable first, then declining".
Qingdao Green Farm Food will continue to focus on product quality upgrading and supply chain optimization, providing high-quality quick-frozen raspberry products and professional one-stop export services for global customers.
