Sales of the fruit are already 9% higher year on year as growing awareness of their health properties and the availability of a healthy crop underpin demand.
Daniel Martin, the group commercial director at S&A Produce, says: "This blueberry season has seen a really positive early start, around two weeks ahead of schedule, thanks to strong light levels and an absence of rain.
