The European market has remained fairly well oriented. Overall supply is still stable and close to seasonal averages. Furthermore, the main German operators have reduced their purchases by about 15% as the school holidays are approaching (Week 26). Nevertheless, demand has continued to decrease slightly as a result of the start of the holidays in southern Europe (Italy) and abnormally warm weather in northern and eastern Europe. However, strikes by Spanish hauliers have considerably limited competition from the cheapest seasonal fruits, especially in Germany and France. As a result, banana sales have continued at a good level. Only the Italian and Polish markets have remained under pressure from local production. Prices have remained stable in this context.
