Global supply has been quite low this week. The Spanish deficit has been even more noticeable due to the Epiphany Holiday. Furthermore, the Nules season is getting closer to its end and heavy rainfaills have affected pack out yields in a negative way for this variety. For Clemenvilla, wind has affected the quality of the fruit. The Nour season from Morocco has continued to develop but the quality of the fruit has been rather heterogeneous due to floods in the production areas. Corsican volumes have also been very low as the season also approaches its end and as logistic has been blocked at the end of the week due to snowfalls. In this clear context, Minneola from Israel and Turkey has been quickly referenced and kept steady prices around 1€/kg.

The market has remained satisfactory but more volumes have been available and some part of the offer has shown flexible quality. Global demand has slightly decreased after the end of the promotions. Deliveries of Nules and Clemenvilla from Spain have increased due to some flexible quality volumes requiring to be quickly sold. However prices have remained stable. The first Ortanic and Hernandine from Spain have entered the market this week. The situation has been almost the same for Moroccan Nour. More deliveries took place and some volumes needed to be quickly sold due to flexible quality (floods at the production stage). Prices have slightly decreased for this variety. Hence availabilities have been heavier this week and demand a bit slower. Other origins sales were also slower and prices slightly decreased for Minneola from Israel and Turkey. First Or delivery.

This has been a transition week on the soft citrus market. It has been the last week of strong pressure from the ending varieties, that have been sometimes showing some quality flexibilities (Nules, Clemenvilla and Moroccan Nour). It has also been the last week of Corsican deliveries. Prices have been more flexible for most of these varieties but still above the average. This context has continued to weigh on sales of other varieties like Minneola for which prices were more flexible for both Turkey and Israel. The first volumes of mid season varieties have begun to be sold. Sales levels were quite satisfactory for the Israeli Or but a slow beginning for Ortanic and Hernandine from Spain due to their early maturity

The market has become more difficult this week. The ending varieties are over (Nules, Clemenvilla). However, a slowdown of demand has been observed. Hence, sales for the newly arrived varieties from Spain (Fortuna, Hernandina, Ortanic and Nadorcot) have been relatively slow. However prices have kept a satisfactory level. For other origins, the minneola market has also been more difficult for both Turkey and Israel due to the large volumes available. Prices have continued to decrease. For OR from Israel, prices have also gone but remained of a good level

Demand has slowed down on the soft citrus market. However, supply has continued to decrease (end of the Nules and Clemenvilla season from Spain). The Spanish offer has mainly be composed by Ortanic and Hernandina for which production potentials remain limited. Some volumes of Fortune and Nadorcott completed this origin's supply. On the Moroccan side, some volumes of Nour have still been available on the market, still showing an heterogeneous quality. Nadorcott deliveries from this origin have remained limited. The Turkish Mineola season has ended for some operators. At last, the Israeli Or season has continued to develop. Prices have remained stable and above the average for all varieties (besides Nour).

Demand for soft citruses has started to decline as usual at this time of the year. It is increasingly focusing on good quality varieties as advanced maturity fruits have been weakened further by rainfalls in Spain. On the best brand segment, sales of Nadorcott from Spain and of Or from Israel have remained of a rather good level, with prices stable and above the average (shipments of Nadorcott from Morocco have remained very limited). For the other segments, Ortanic from Spain has managed to keep its prices stable. As for the other varieties (Fortuna, Hernandina, Mineola, Nour) prices have decreased and come back to a level close to the average.

The market has remained stable. Supply has become even more restricted with the end of the Spanish Hernandina and Fortuna season. Even if quality has remained flexible for some brands, prices have kept a stable level and relatively above the average. Spanish supply is now only relying on Ortanic (some quality issues) and on Nadorcott. On the Israeli side, the Or season is ending for some operators.

The market has remained well oriented for fruits of good quality. Demand has kept a good level whereas the supply has decreased further. Nules season is close to its end (90% of harvested fruits on week 52 in the main production areas in the centre of the Valencia Community). Prices have been firm for good quality products that represent a decreasing share of the offer as the campaign is ending. Some operators have already started the Hernandina season. Consequently, Clemenvilla offer has strengthened in the multiple lines. The price bracket has increased but has remained wide due to an heterogeneous quality of the fruits. Moroccan arrivals have remained moderate in EC markets (focus on the Russian market). As a result, sales of Israeli Mineola have remained slow, except for some operators, because of the price gap with the Spanish Clemenvilla (Israeli Mineola: 0.85-1.00 €/kg). The Corsican Clementine campaign is ending with increasing prices

The market has remained well oriented as the supply has become more and more moderate. Spanish arrivals have continued to decline. Clemenvilla volumes have continued to peak but the Clemenules campaign is close to its end. Some operators have started the Hernandina season. Thus, prices have increased for all varieties and have been above average, even if some Clemenvilla and Clemenules fruits have shown overripe signs. At the same time, the arrivals of Moroccan Nour have developed further in France but have remained moderate. Prices have also increased. Some volumes of Moroccan Fine of heterogeneous quality have been still available. Consequently, sales of Israeli Minneola have been at a good level for most of the operators. Prices have remained firm (0.90-1.00/kg). Offer of Turkish Minneola has been very limited. The Campaign of Corsican Clementines is almost over.

The market has remained well oriented. Supply, mainly constituted of Spanish and Moroccan fruits, has continued to rapidly decrease to reach a moderate level. Seasons of Spanish Clemenules and Clemenvilla as well as Moroccan Nour campaign are almost over. Main part of the supply is now constituted of Spanish Hernandina, Israeli Mineola (0.80/0.90 euro / kg) with some additional very first volumes of Moroccan Nadorcott and Israeli Or (1.90 / 2.20 euros/kg). Demand has remained quite satisfactory even if some operators have felt a slowdown at the end of the week. Quality of fruits whose season is finishing has to be monitored, especially for the smallest grades. Prices have remained firm and even have tended to rise for the most part of the varieties.

Market has remained in balance. Spanish deliveries have decreased further to be moderate and demand has been in line with the available quantities. Clemenvilla season is almost over and supply has been mainly constituted of Ortaniques (60%), Hernandina (30%) and limited quantities of Fortuna and very first volumes of Nadorcott. Prices at production stage have increased for both Hernandina and Ortaniques to be at a high level. They have also strengthened at import stage for all varieties. Regarding Mediterranean origins, Turkish and Israeli Mineola have continued to complete the offer beside Israeli Or and Moroccan Nardocott (very limited volumes). Demand has kept a good level for these origins and prices have remained stable. Market should remain in balance. Spanish supply will decrease further as Clemenvilla season will be over and Hernandina campaign will be close to its end. At the same time, Moroccan Nardorcott deliveries should remain limited

The Spanish Clementine season has still not really begun. Volumes of Marisol/Clemenrubi, the two earliest varieties, have remained almost insignificant. Prices have continued to peak at around 2.30 euros/kg for grade 1; 2.00 euros/kg for grade 2 and 1.80 euros/kg for grade 3/4. Volumes are not expected to develop significantly week 40 because of rainfall this week and certainly this week end in Valencia. The season will really begin from week 41…if the rains stop week 40. Production appears to be around 20/25% below the last year level in the earliest production areas. Size is much bigger than last year.

The Spanish season development has started to become significant but volumes have remained sensitively below the average due to weather conditions and to a limited production potential. Supply has relied on the Clemenrubi variety (ending for some operators), Marisol and Oronules (beginning this week).Demand has been in phase with supply for the best varieties. However, situation has been more difficult for Marisol than for other varieties in spite of its lower price level. It is still having trouble attracting the interest of multiple lines.In this context, prices have been slightly below last year's level but above the average.

This week was the first week of heavy deliveries from Spain, even if still slightly below last year's average. However, demand has not developed as fast as supply, particularly for the Marisol variety. Supply relies now only on Marisol and Oronules. Hence, prices have decreased but have remained however above the average (+10% for both varieties).

Spanish supply has remained 10% below the average. Even if production levels are average for early varieties, the packing yield appears to be low for the moment due to weather conditions (heat and humidity—med fly population above the last season level). Demand has developed significantly and has been quite active for all varieties (Marisol, Oronules and Clemenpons). Prices have slightly decreased but remained above the average. The first clementines from Morocco entered the market this week.

The market has remained very satisfactory. Volumes have continued to develop and have come back to an average level. Supply still relies on Oronules, Marisol and some complementary volumes of Arrufatina and Clemenpons. The first Clemenules have made their appearance on the market this week. However, demand has remained of a very good level. Hence, prices have continued to decrease but have been above the average. Very little volumes of Moroccan clementines entered the market this week. The season from Corsica has started to develop with high price levels.

The market has remained well balanced. Spanish supply has relied 60% on Clemenules and 40% on the early varieties which are progressively ending. Volumes that had reached a level close to the average last week, decreased this week (one bank holiday, Nules production short). However, demand has kept a very good level allowing prices to remain 20% above the average. The first significant volumes from Morocco have been delivered from the Souss and Orientale regions. Prices are 9% above the average. Volumes from Corsica have continued to develop. Sales have been quite satisfactory and prices have kept a very good level.

Demand for Clementines has suddenly dropped down. Abnormally high temperatures for the season seem to have affected both demand and the quality of the fruit (colour). Furthermore, demand is also being slowed down by the high level of retail prices reached. Supply has been limited since the Nules variety, the main Spanish variety available on the market, is having low production levels. The first Clemenvilla from Spain entered the market this week. Prices have dropped down further but have still remained at a level above the average. Volumes from Corsica, which developed highly last week, have continued to develop but in a more moderate way. Finally, those from Morocco remained stable and below the average.

The market has remained satisfactory. Demand has slowed down (retail prices still high), but has continued to be in line with the offer. On the Spanish side, Nules volumes have remained moderate (acceleration of some exporters, has fruits maturity is high in some areas, but crop moderate). Furthermore, the Clemenvilla ones have continued to be very limited. Prices have decreased slightly at the import stage, but have remained around 20% higher than the average. Deliveries from Morocco have been punctually very limited (Aid holly days week 49) and prices have increased slightly. Good sales and good volumes for Corsica

The market has remained satisfactory. Sales of Spanish fruits have remained quite moderate, even if better than last week thanks to the engagement of some Xmass programs. However, supply has continued to be below the average because of the Nules production shortage. The Clemenvilla arrivals came back to an average level (fruit maturity is high), however, the Nules volumes have continued to be moderate. Thus, prices have remained firm, but have not increased in a significant way (prices fixed for weeks for a great part of the engagement with multiples). Deliveries from Morocco have recovered after the last week gap due to the Aïd Holidays, but have remained moderate. Prices have also been very firm. Sales of Corsican fruits have remained very fluent.

The market has remained very satisfactory. Sales have accelerated to provide the Xmass promotion. Nules prices have remained very firm, as the volumes available at the production stage are becoming limited (some quality problems due to over maturity reported especially regarding small fruits). In this context, export of Clemenvilla have not developed further to keep some fruits for January. Arrivals of Fine form Morocco have increased sharply, but prices have remained very firm. Same situation for Fine from Corsica: volumes have remained much larger than usual but prices have remained also very firm.

As expected, demand has slowed down at the end of this year. Nevertheless, situation for soft citrus has continued to be very positive. Available volumes of Nules have strongly decreased and have remained at an average level for the season. Producers are keeping the remaining Nules in cold storage in order to spare some volumes for the beginning of 2010. Hence prices have decreased, but remained at a level above the average. Situation for Clemenvilla has been even better as the fruit is fresher than the already ripe Nules and as volumes remain very low (almost 40% below the average). Prices for this variety have remained stable and 15% above the average. Rhe Hernandine season is not expected to begin until the third week of January; hence situation for Nules and Clemenville should continue to be very satisfactory.
