BC blueberry growers approved a $3.31 million budget at their AGM on June 17 in Aldergrove. Harjot Toor, the BC Blueberry Council's finance chair, says the spend in 2025 was $2.55 million, which was set low because of the poor yields in 2024. "We were very scared to spend in 2025. It was a bad year in 2024. Now things are more normal.”
