FRESHUELVA , gathering data from its members, has established that strawberries plantations are totaling 5860 hectares. A decrease of 8.7 % from 2014-15 where plantations totaled 6400 hectares.

Raspberries will total 1815 hectares ( 1560 last year) , blackberries 130 hectares (90 last year) , blueberries 1953 hectares ( 1470 last year) .
