$13 May 2024, Brandenburg, Niewitz: Ripe and still green strawberries can be seen on a plant at Spreewaldhof Niewitz GmbH & Co. KG. At midday, Brandenburg\'s Minister of Agriculture Vogel (Alliance 90\/The Greens) is to officially open this year\'s strawberry season here at the Spreewaldhof. According to the Berlin-Brandenburg Horticultural Association, the area under cultivation and the number of strawberry producers in Brandenburg has been decreasing for years. Brandenburg strawberries are only grown in the open on around 150 hectares and harvested in foil tunnels and greenhouses on around 40 hectares. Compared to the previous year, the harvestable cultivation area in the open field decreased by a good 70 hectares in 2023. The harvest volume was 1405 tons, significantly less than the average of around 2235 tons in the previous five years. This was mainly due to high temperatures and a lack of rainfall.
