The field research was conducted in the years 2021–2023 on the production plantation set up on light soil. The research material comprised data on the cultivation of autumn raspberry variety Polonez. The objective of the study was to assess the impact of meteorological conditions and the performed agrotechnical treatments on the production and economic result of autumn raspberry cultivation in the conditions of a production farm situated in the north-eastern part of the Lublin Province. It was noted that the diverse course of meteorological conditions in the years 2021–2023 (in particular, the long-term drought in 2023) affected the quantity and quality of raspberry fruit yields. In 2023, the fruit yield was the lowest, similar to the average selling price of fruits compared to the other analysed years, which significantly impacted the economic result of autumn raspberry cultivation. In the cost structure of raspberry cultivation, manual fruit picking constituted the largest share (53.6%). However, the average value of raspberry production in the years 2021–2023 was higher than the costs incurred, as evidenced by the value of the direct surplus – on average at the level of 13 653,7 PLN·ha–1 and net agricultural income, which on average amounted to 11 776,75 PLN·ha–1.
