Today in Genoa, the prices of berries in general tend to remain low, including blueberries, blackberries and raspberries. As far as origins are concerned, blueberries come mainly from Italy, Spain and Morocco, with Spain predominating.
The quality of the blueberries is on average poor: the product is not aesthetically appealing, not particularly attractive and there is the presence of rot and mould. The blueberries are often shrivelled and generally poor. The production batches are not too recent; it depends somewhat on the product, but generally they are at least a week old.
