Stabilizing Supply in a Volatile Market — Why Richfield FD Raspberry Is the Smart Choice

Over the past two years, the global raspberry market has experienced one of the sharpest price surges in fruit history. A combination of severe frost in Europe, reduced yields in North America, and unpredictable climate patterns in Asia has driven prices steadily upward. In 2023, the average export price of raspberries stood around $4,500 per metric ton, but by mid-2024, it had reached nearly $6,000 per metric ton — a rise of more than 30% in just a year.

This escalation has deeply affected manufacturers, distributors, and even retail brands that rely on berries as a key ingredient for their products. Supply shortages and unstable costs have made it difficult to plan or maintain consistent pricing in end products such as smoothies, yogurts, snacks, and freeze-dried fruit mixes.

This is where Richfield Food steps in as a dependable solution provider. With more than 20 years of experience in the freeze-drying industry and over 60,000 square meters of production space, Richfield has positioned itself as a global leader in FD fruits and candies. Its facilities include 18 large-scale Toyo Giken freeze-drying lines and dual production bases in China and Vietnam, ensuring a stable, diversified supply chain.

Richfield’s freeze-dried raspberries stand out for their crisp texture, intense flavor, and long shelf life of over 24 months. Produced in BRC A-grade, FDA-certified, and organically approved facilities, these products retain up to 98% of the fruit’s nutrients while being easy to transport and store.

Moreover, Richfield’s Vietnam factory gives it an advantage in sourcing and producing tropical FD fruits and IQF fruits like mango, pineapple, and banana — providing customers with flexible alternatives to balance their formulations and costs when berry prices soar globally.
