Market dynamics European market, week 38 (September 2016)

Transcription

1 Market dynamics European market, week 38 (September 2016) Markets have been very calm after the holidays. Given the massive availabilities of the European summer fruits, the market has been crossing the period of lowest demand along the year and despite the return to normal activity the demand for tropical fruits has been very low, apart from the products which are undersupplied (avocado and pineapples). Avocado There are small volumes on the market due to the end of the Southern Hemisphere season. Prices are sky-high and similar for all origins and varieties. The imports from Chile will become significant starting from week 40 while the arrivals from Mexico remain small for now; both origins are concentrated on the US market. The market should remain undersupplied in October but very high prices risk affecting the retail prices and therefore the demand. Kiwi Prices have been satisfactory in the last weeks and started to decrease recently (beginning of season for the European origins); kiwis from Argentina are on the market. Lime Prices reached very high levels in September due to small export volumes from origin countries but are now returning to average values for the Brazilian and Mexican fruits. The price variations occurred downwards in the last week have been remarkable but the price range among origins remained narrow. Mango The market is steady, with prices just on average for tommy atkins and relatively better quotations for fibreless varieties. The demand has been lively only for the fruits from Spain which obtained good prices but showed a relatively large price range. Israel should close the season with production volumes 10-15% higher than last year (when exports reached tons) and larger percentage of small sizes. Passion fruit There are small volumes on the market, particularly from Zimbabwe and, to a lesser extent, Kenya; prices stand slightly above average as the demand is not very high. Pineapple Pineapples reached record quotations due to the lack of fruits from Central America (rains and shipments delays). The product has been frequently not quoted and the volumes received sold immediately. Fruits from less usual origins have partially topped up the demand fetching very high quotations as well. The supply is nevertheless starting to improve and should be back to normal in two-three weeks. The summer season observed a relatively small trade of tropical fruits but very good products quality in most cases. The season for the European products will now smoothly going to an end:; the very first volumes of off-season products from the Southern Hemisphere (melons and grapes) are on the market.
