Germans eat five kilograms of berries a year, and demand keeps rising faster than domestic harvests can meet it, which is why supermarket shelves fill up with imports even in the middle of the German growing season. DW Documentary follows that supply chain to southern Portugal, where the Alentejo region's berry cultivation zone has grown fivefold to nearly 5,000 hectares. At Logofruits, a 75-hectare blueberry operation in Odemira, owner Lourenço de Botton describes the daily struggle to find 600 hand-pickers, many recruited from Nepal, India, and Bangladesh. Odemira's mayor Hélder Guerreiro lays out the numbers: almost 11,000 migrant workers from over 80 countries now make up 40 percent of the municipality's population, a boost for a region hit by emigration but also a strain on housing, services, and water supplies. Back in Germany, Darmstadt grower Erik Appel explains why his raspberries taste and behave nothing like the hardier varieties bred for long-distance shipping. The film sets local scarcity against global cost, letting growers, workers, and officials make the case in their own words.
