The market has been well balanced. The global volumes from SAR have developed further for both Navel and Valencia (+16%/average). Usually the Navel campaign has started to tend down, but the arrivals have been unexpectedly far above the 2007 level on week 30 (+135%). Moreover Valencia deliveries have continued to quickly develop. Some limited volumes of Spanish Valencia late have still completed the offer. In the same time, the Valencia arrivals from Argentina have increased further and have overcome the 5000 t step.

Arrivals from Argentina have sharply decreased whereas the SAR downward trend has been more progressive with quite significant volumes(+27 % in S30/2007). Moreover, the first volumes from Mexico (Michoacán) have been receipted. Sales have been very slow especially for Argentinean fruits which have continued to show heterogeneous quality.

The Peru deliveries have continued to be short and far above the average (-22%) whereas the SAR arrivals have been at the average level.

Some very limited Spanish Valencia volumes have remained on the market.

The market is tense and moving upwards. The slight supply surplus observed in Week 28 has dwindled considerably or even totally disappeared. On the one hand, the deficit in fruits from the French West Indies has continued to become more marked. On the other, exports from Ecuador have dipped as is usual at this time of the year. Market tension has been strongly felt in Germany where a significant decrease in supply has caused slight market under-supply. Demand has remained at a good level for the summer, especially in France and northern Europe.

Moreover volumes from Argentina have continued to tend down and the cumulated volumes have been lower than the average level (-15%).

The Peru deliveries have slightly increased but have remained far below the 2007 level (-40%) and the average (-20%). Moreover, the Kenyan volumes have remained very limited. Sales have continued to be fluid thanks to the short volumes available and to the continuation of the multiple line operations.

The market has become slightly more delicate. Receipted volumes from SAR and Argentina have declined in the past two weeks, but have come back to level slightly higher than the average. Two trend has been observed on the market according to the variety. First, the Star ruby market (essentially South African fruits) has remained well oriented and quite tense. South African arrivals have been disturbed (logistical problem) so that some operators have lacked of good. Moreover, demand has remained satisfactory (multiple line) and no stocks have been available.

The market has strengthened its balance. The Hass global offer has continued to decrease and has been below the average level of the past 2 years. After the punctual increase on week 27, The SAR volumes have tended down but have remained slightly above the average (+7%).
