Weekly market news - 2010 - week 1
Keywords : Grapefruit / Fresh / Europe

The situation seems to have been slightly better this week, at least in France. Very low volumes of Floridian fruits entered the market this week (67% less than on week 53) and stocks have almost been inexistent. Furthermore, demand seems to have woken up. In this context, prices for tropical fruits have been slightly firmer. However, it was not the case in Northern Europe, where sales remained very slow and prices didn't evolve. For Mediterranean fruits, a slight activation of demand has also been noticeable on the French market this week but prices have remained just stable.

A better global demand has continued to be noticed on the market. However, the situation has not evolved in the same way for all the origins. For Floridian fruits, availabilities have continued to be very low (empty stocks and deliveries increasing but still below the average). Hence, the market has remained tense and prices for this origin have strengthen.For Mediterranean grapefruits the market has remained quite competitive as volumes from both Israel and Turkey increased this week. Deliveries from Israel are still moderate but those from Turkey increased in a more substantial way and those from Spain are still present. In this context, thanks to a better demand, sales have been fluent but prices have not evolved.

The Floridian grapefruit market has remained tense. Deliveries have developed but have kept a level below the average and stocks have continued to be very moderate. Demand for this product has remained stable, satisfactory and in line with supply. Hence, prices have kept a stable and firm level. However, the Mediterranean grapefruit market has continued to be very competitive. Turkish volumes have remained heavy and exporters seem to focus more on the West European market (Germany, Netherlands). Furthermore, Israeli volumes have come back to a level above the average. Thus, prices have remained low and the price bracket has widened

Demand has slowed down on the grapefruit market. For Floridian fruit, even though deliveries have slightly decreased and have come down to a level 20% below the average, situation has become more fragile due to a slower demand. Hence, prices have remained stable but some stocks have begun to be available. As for the Mediterranean market, the situation has continued to be difficult. Deliveries have increased slightly further both from Israel and Turkey and demand has shown a particularly low level. Therefore, prices have remained stable to slightly lower and stocks have continued to be available.

Demand has slowed down. However, the Floridian market has remained in balance due to the very low level of deliveries. The shortage is tending to be more marked. Prices have remained stable but are becoming insufficient to cover costs after the new €/$ exchange rate. The Mediterranean market has remained difficult. Even though volumes from Israel have remained stable, those from Turkey have continued to increase (heavy crop and grades too small for the traditional Eastern Europe market). Hence, prices already low, have continued to decrease

The market has remained difficult due to a low level of demand. School holidays have affected the demand of the catering segment. Supply pressure for Mediterranean fruits has remained heavy. Volumes from Turkey have decreased but those from Israel came back to a level as heavy a the one of last year. Hence, prices already low continued to decrease. Some limited volumes of Cyprus completed this weeks supply. For Floridian fruit, the market has weakened. However supply has continued to be low but demand has been particularly slow. In this context, prices started showing some flexibilities.

Some improvement seems to be emerging on the Mediterranean fruits market. Israeli pressure has remained heavy and above last year's level. However, Turkish deliveries have decreased (volumes more important sent to Eastern Europe, in particular to Romania and Russia). Furthermore, supply pressure from Spain has dropped down since the already low production has decreased further due to the rainfalls impacting the harvest. Hence, even though prices didn't evolve, sales levels for Israeli fruit have improved. For Floridian fruit, the improvement has also been confirmed but prices have not strengthen further. Deliveries have remained significantly below other year's level and in line with demand
