3 Market dynamics European market, week 4 (January 2015) The year-end just brought a slight trade enhancement and the market is back to a dull context in January; orders stopped after Christmas and prices consequently felled rapidly. With lower rates, new orders have been placed but consumers demand remained calm and sales proved slow especially in week 3, also because of bad weather, being favourable for few products only. Asparagus Small number of registered occurrences for imported asparagus. Avocado The market has been undersupplied and prices increased. Volumes from Chile are stable and lower than last year, the fruits from Mexico are few (the USA is the main destination market) and deliveries from Israel and Spain are delayed as picking has been disturbed by bad weather and logistic problems; volumes from Spain are nevertheless increasing in the hass segment even though the offer is composed mostly of medium and small sizes. The supply of green varieties is turning limited and prices firmed up. Berries Sea-freight arrivals and limited demand turned the market difficult; sales have been low, with low prices which might decrease further. Beans Good price level for beans from Burkina Faso, Senegal and Morocco; the price range is large and tended to increase at the end of the month. Grapes Big arrivals of white grapes and steady demand generated negative price adjustments and moderate sales; prices reached the lowest level of the last three years. The red seedless grapes had better movement but prices were adjusted downwards; good demand for red globe although slower than in previous weeks, especially for Peru. Grapes in 4,5 kg cartons have been sometimes quoted better than the pre-packed fruits. Lime Increasing volumes from Brazil and quality problems made prices decreasing sharply; quotations hardly reach the average and may vary considerably( Euro/ctn) being very low for small sizes (1,50-3,50 Euro/ctn). The supply from Mexico is expected to decrease in the coming weeks. Lychee Despite a decreasing demand after the year-end quotations hasn t been lower than 2,00-2,50 Euro/kg until now, while last year dropped rapidly below 2,00 Euro/Kg. Sea-freighted fruits from South Africa, delayed in comparison to the last season, have kept higher quotations. Shipments by container are on the market and a new source offering good quality fruits has appeared on the market: Mozambique. Mango Demand is low but the available volumes, traded in relatively small quantities, kept prices at good levels. The supply from Peru (one month delay) might be as much as 50% lower than last year and arrivals from Ecuador are also not as big as in the previous season (alternate bearing for both origins). Prices have been very low at the beginning of the year, rarely exceeding average quotations but recovered in the following weeks reaching unexpected levels. The commercialization of the Peruvian Tropical Off-Season Fresh Fruits and Vegetables

4 fruits is satisfactory, even if quality problems are registered in some cases. Melons Beginning of season for Costa Rica and Honduras with good quotations for these products origins and large price range for galia melons. Pineapple Very low quotations until the middle of week 3 when prices new arrivals have almost doubled because of the delay of some boats from Central America (10,00-12,00 Euro/ctn). The market is undersupplied and the product is frequently unavailable or not quoted; the new prices have been practiced for new orders only, while prices for programs remained stable. Stone fruits Good sales due to small available volumes until the second week of the month, with good quality fruits from both South Africa and Chile. With the sea-freighted arrivals from Chile the total supply is higher than in the previous season and, with limited demand, prices got lower year-on-year, particularly for South Africa. The plums market is under pressure (sharp increase in arrivals from South Africa) and prices are lower than in 2014 but stable week-on-week. A low demand for cherries, coupled with diversity in quality and condition, meant low sales and low prices. The prices of all other most commonly traded products decreased at the beginning of 2015, returning at the levels registered before the start of the year-end operations.
