Indian raspberry growers cannot reliably produce fresh raspberries year-round due to climate constraints and import restrictions

Indian farmers and agricultural businesses face a critical shortage of fresh raspberries because the crop traditionally requires cool climates that most of India doesn't have, and strict import restrictions prevent sourcing from overseas suppliers. Current solutions like low-chill varieties and protected growing systems are still experimental and unproven at scale, leaving growers unable to meet domestic market demand or establish consistent supply chains.
