Strawberries are the red fruit of stoloniferous creeping plants. These are herbaceous plant species belonging to the genus Fragaria, from the family Rosaceae.
The cultivation of strawberries was the specialty of the town of Plougastel-Daoulas, which produced almost a quarter of French production until the beginning of the 20th century.
The United States is the country that harvests the most strawberries in the world, with an annual production of 1.5 million tons. It is followed by Mexico, which harvests 470,000 tons a year, Egypt 465,000 tons, Turkey 420,000 tons, Spain 400,000 tons, and then Russia, Poland, and Italy. French production, which is lower than domestic demand, is estimated at 57,000 tons.
