The price of berries in Sweden is expected to rise significantly due to a decrease in the number of Thai berry pickers allowed to work in the country.

Authorities have tightened controls on the berry industry to combat the exploitation of foreign labor.

This has led to fears of increased prices and potential shortages of berry products.

The industry warns that products could become 40 to 100 percent more expensive.

It may also push companies to buy berries from less regulated sources, increasing the risk of exploitation and organized crime.
