Top Raspberry Producing Countries

Raspberry farming has a rich history, with wild raspberries native to Europe, Asia, and North America, and their cultivation dating back to at least the Middle Ages in Europe. The first recorded cultivation was in the 16th century in England, where raspberries were grown in monastery gardens. Over time, selective breeding and improved agricultural practices spread raspberry cultivation across Europe and into North America. Today, the top countries farming raspberries are Russia, the United States, Serbia, Poland, and Mexico. Russia has historically led global production, thanks to its favorable climate and vast agricultural lands, while the United States, particularly the state of Washington, is a major producer due to advanced horticultural techniques. Serbia and Poland have become significant exporters, supplying much of Europe, and Mexico has rapidly increased production in recent years, especially for export to the U.S. market. The global spread and improvement of raspberry farming reflect centuries of agricultural innovation and adaptation to diverse climates.
