Season calendar

Raspberry season by country

When Mexico and Morocco ship raspberries and other soft berries, month by month, and why so little of the crop ever sees a container.

Peak supply October–May from Mexico and Morocco. No origin on this page ships them in July–August.

Last reviewed August 2026. Windows are editorial ranges for a normal year, not a published schedule, and they are export weeks out of the origin rather than arrival weeks in your market.

Soft berries are grown counter-season almost everywhere they are grown for export. Mexico ships through the Northern Hemisphere winter out of Jalisco and Michoacán; Morocco does the same into Europe from Souss-Massa. Both exist because the markets they serve have no local fruit in those months.

Very little of it moves by sea. Raspberries have a shelf life measured in days, so the volume goes by air or by truck, and the sea programme is a small and technically demanding subset. Treat the windows below as the crop calendar, and check the routing separately.

Mexico

November–April peak · May, October shoulder Load ports: Manzanillo, Lázaro Cárdenas, and Veracruz

Roughly November to April out of Jalisco and Michoacán, counter-season to Northern Hemisphere production. Blackberries and strawberries run on much the same calendar.
