[2008-06-16] Grapefruit
The market has remained very tense. On the one hand, the presence of the Northern hemisphere suppliers on the multiple market is getting scarcer (decreasing number of multiple lines opened to the Floridian and Corsican fruits). Prices have been stable and firm. On the other hand, the pressure from the southern hemisphere suppliers has remained below the average. South African season has been in its full season pace. Nevertheless, volumes remain lower than last year (about 15/20 % less on Europe). Moreover, volumes from Argentina have already begun to decrease and have remained in line with the last season ones. In this context, prices have been stable and firm for SAR. Argentinean operators have had two strategies according to the fruits quality: stocking goods in order to wait for the demand or sale goods at prices quite lower than last week.
