Market Update

Morning All

Just a quick market update

Vegetables

Beans – Unfortunately prices were dropping until growers lost crops by thrips virus :(, prices very high.

Ice Broccoli – supply very short with some local growers between crops, we are using E/States, prices up.

Snow Peas/Sugar Snaps – most local growers done for the season, E/states produce will be $25 +/kg, and quality not great.

Tomatoes – we are on the home stretch with Carnarvon season, local just around the corner, fruit is very short, 1kg bags will cost more than loose N1, highly recommend stocking more loose.

Cauliflower – Prices very high with very little supply, Southwest season is just starting, local has finished. Cauliflower will cost over $5 each.

Sweet Potato – Rains in Queensland have caused major shortage, same as Bananas, prices up.

Onions will be shooting moving forward as we are in the later part of the season. New season isn’t available till January 2027. Please keep stocks to a minimum and prices are on the increase.

Fruit

Strawberries – Local fruit all finished, we are now using Southwest new season.

Rockmelon – still very short in supply and prices very high, we could use smaller fruit to bring price down, but I will stick with 7/8 counts.

Grapes – Broome Red and White seedless have started, fruit taste great.

Blueberries – some beautiful local fruit coming in, prices have eased slightly.

Mangoes – make the most of these KP’s from Kununurra, the season will be short, not much fruit this year.

Mandarins – getting towards the end now, next variety is Mystiques, which are hard to peel :(.

Lemons – have become very short and fruit will cost $6+/kg.

Cherries – E/states and maybe even some Southwest due to arrive next week 🙂

Apricots – Local due to start next week 🙂

Nectarines – local hills fruit has now started, still very expensive but won’t take long for prices to ease.

Plums – Same as Apricots, Local growers have said first pick next week :).
