Turning Global Frost Into Opportunity — How Richfield Keeps the FD Fruit Supply Stable

In 2025, a wave of unexpected frost hit major raspberry-producing regions in Europe, severely damaging crops in Poland, Serbia, and Spain. As a result, global raspberry output dropped by nearly 25%, pushing prices upward and squeezing the supply chain for freeze-dried fruit producers worldwide.

However, for Richfield Food, this global supply challenge became an opportunity to demonstrate its resilience and strength. With over 20 years of experience and four advanced factories — including its Vietnam facility strategically located for tropical fruit production — Richfield has established a diversified sourcing network that minimizes regional climate risks.

While others faced supply shortages and unstable pricing, Richfield maintained stable output and consistent quality for its clients. This is due to its dual production system and long-term partnerships with reliable fruit suppliers across Asia and South America.

Richfield’s BRC A-grade factories audited by SGS and FDA-certified GMP facilities also ensure product safety and premium quality across all FD fruits, including raspberries, strawberries, mangoes, and pineapples.

Richfield’s ability to balance global sourcing and domestic production allowed it to fill the gap left by Europe’s frost-driven shortfall. As a result, customers continued to receive steady shipments of FD raspberries and FD tropical fruits with no interruptions.

While other suppliers struggled, Richfield proved one thing — reliability is the most valuable ingredient in the freeze-dried fruit industry.
