The asparagus season in Germany is anticipated to commence from mid to late March, with various regions preparing for harvest. Andreas Köhr, Deputy Managing Director of the Farmers' and Winegrowers' Association of Rhineland-Palatinate South, emphasizes the importance of choosing regional asparagus over imports.
Approximately 1,300 asparagus farms across Germany are gearing up for a robust yield, with projections estimating around 105,000 tons of asparagus, of which 10-15% will be green. Prices are expected to stabilize between 10 and 12 euros per kilogram.
While colder weather may slightly delay the start of the season, farmers in regions like Brandenburg are optimistic about an early harvest. The labor-intensive nature of asparagus harvesting is also a consideration, as rising personnel costs impact the industry.
Overall, local asparagus is poised to delight consumers, reflecting both seasonal freshness and regional pride.
