A good four months before Christmas, some Christmas tree producers in Saxony are expecting prices to rise. "After many years, there will be a reduced supply of Christmas trees again in 2024," said Managing Director Saskia Blümel of the Association of Natural Christmas Trees to the German Press Agency. This will inevitably lead to higher prices.
Moderate price increases expected for consumers
However, the price increases are expected to be moderate so that they do not represent a major burden for consumers. "The price increase will be such that every consumer will still be able to afford a tree of the desired size and quality," assures Blümel.
