As the 2025 raspberry harvest season begins recently, freeze-dried raspberry buyers around the world are facing a perfect storm: surging raw material prices, tight supply, and intensified demand. At Merry Time, we’re seeing a sharp increase in inquiries for freeze-dried raspberries, especially from Europe and North America — yet many customers hesitate to place orders. What‘s the reason? Let’s explore and take a deeper look.

This year, the global raspberry industry is facing multiple challenges:
- Reduction in raw material production due to weather fluctuations and reduced acreage.
- Increased labor and logistics costs, pushing up the price of fresh raspberry raw material.
- Strong demand for healthy, clean-label ingredients — especially freeze-dried fruits.
- Tariff increases on Chinese imports to the U.S., making it harder for North American buyers to absorb rising costs.
As a result, many U.S. importers and private label brands are struggling to balance sourcing needs with price acceptability. Despite high interest in freeze-dried raspberries, purchasing decisions are being delayed or reduced in volume due to cost pressures.
According to recent industry data, the cost of fresh raspberries has risen by over 25% YoY, directly impacting FD raspberry pricing. Coupled with the new tariff situation, North American buyers face one of the toughest procurement seasons in years.
In the current market, price volatility is likely to continue throughout the season. We recommend buyers:
· Plan earlier, and confirm orders early to lock in availability and stable pricing.
· Avoid spot purchases, which are subject to sudden surcharges and limited stock.
· Work closely with experienced suppliers who offer product consistency, certifications, and professional export service.
At Merry Time, we fully understand your challenges. With years of export experience and advanced freeze-drying facilities, we remain committed to:
· Offering high-quality FD raspberries and other freeze-dried fruits at competitive, transparent pricing.
· Providing flexible formats: whole, crushed, and raspberry powder (40–80 mesh).
· Ensuring strict quality control and full certifications (BRC, FDA, Halal, Kosher, HACCP).
· Supporting custom packaging and timely delivery — even during high-demand seasons.
Despite rising raw material costs, we never compromise on quality or service. We continue to support our partners with reliable supply and professional guidance through every purchase cycle.
