Dmytro Honcharuk, co-owner of the nursery "Fruit Garden LLC," shared his experience regarding blueberry cultivation in Ukraine. According to him, there are prospects for developing blueberry plantations in the country.
Regarding the challenges in blueberry cultivation, Honcharuk notes the insufficient quality in the domestic market and the need to increase productivity.
Speaking about industry development, he points out that state grants stimulate the creation of new plantations, but the effectiveness of their cultivation depends on many factors, including the region's geography and market knowledge.
Improving the quality of the produce is crucial, as export development requires high-quality products, which can be achieved through modern cultivation and various selection technologies.
Shortcomings in the Ukrainian market, such as insufficient processing and low-quality products for export, open up new opportunities for farmers. For example, focusing on varieties suitable for processing could be a strategic step in industry development.
According to Honcharuk, it is important to understand that the success of blueberry cultivation depends on systematic teamwork, adherence to technological processes, and the use of modern production tools.
Thus, the Ukrainian blueberry market has the potential for development, and farmers who focus on product quality and employ modern cultivation approaches can ensure a stable and profitable business.
