First Blackcurrants Are Harvested For Ribena

CANTERBURY, ENGLAND - JULY 17: Blackcurrants are harvested using a Joonas Harvester at New House Farm on July 17, 2020 in Canterbury, England. The berries are to be supplied to Lucozade Ribena Suntory, which uses 90 per cent of Britain’s blackcurrants to make the soft drink Ribena. UK blackcurrant farmers will over the next week begin harvesting a new crop of berries, named 'Ben Lawers', which have been bred to cope with Britain’s changing climate. Grown across the UK from Somerset and Kent to the West Midlands and Dundee, blackcurrants are a £10m crop with upwards of 10,000 tonnes harvested every year during July and August.
