Soft fruits are nutritious, tasty and versatile. Available all year round they are an ideal daily healthy food for consumers of all ages.

British Summer Fruits is an organisation that represents around 90% of all the berries that are supplied to the UK's leading supermarkets. Our aim is to promote the consumption of berries grown both in the UK and abroad, collaborating with exporters during winter and spring and working closely with UK growers during the summer months.

The core functions of British Summer Fruits are to:

• Finance and oversee the year round Seasonal Berries PR campaign
• Act as a lobbying body to  government (including DEFRA / Home Office / FSA) and collaborate with other  industry bodies such as the NFU
• Collect and disseminate weekly historic sales data to members and to customers annually
• Carry out strategic targeted market research and tastings
• Collaborate with overseas exporters from Chile, Spain, Africa, Egypt, Argentina, Uruguay and Morocco
• Provide crisis management support, in the event of a major industry wide issue.

Our members market and import strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries.
