Florent Baillard, President of the Socofruits cooperative estimates that production will reach 700 kilos per hectare this year, rather than 3 or 3.5 tons in other years. The first victims of a low yield are Creme de Cassis producers. According to the Association of Processed Fruit and Vegetables (Afidem), volume will only cover 45% of their demand for Noir de Bourgogne and Blackdown blackcurrants. Due to the low yield, the association believes there will be a 30% increase in blackcurrant prices.
