Market Update

Morning All

Just a quick market update

Vegetables

Broccolini will be extremely short for the next several weeks.

Beans – No cheap options around sorry, prices $18-$20/kg.

Spring Onion – supply has improved and prices have eased, quality not great.

Tomatoes – A mixture of Carnarvon and Geraldton coming through, quality ok.

Iceberg Lettuce – Extremely short supply, only 12 counts available which are not great. Both 10 count growers Summich and Canzirri are out for 2 weeks.

Capsicum – Green capsicum will be Geraldton, Red will be a mixture between Geraldton and Carnarvon, Yellow will be Carnarvon, obviously not being glasshouse now, shelf-life won’t be as good, so don’t overstock.

Burpless – we are doing our best to find good burpless, unfortunately our grower MF sold his property, not many good growers left.

Garlic – unfortunately will be Mexican for the next few weeks until local new season starts.

Zucchinis – have really shortened up this week and prices now over $1.80 each.

Fruit

Grapes – USA fruit is available but supply very inconsistent.

Kiwi fruit – Local season has finshed, now using new season New Zealand fruit, prices up slightly.

Mandarins – We are now using the Afourer variety, fruit is ok but not as tasty as previous varieties.

Melons – Rockmelon and Honey Dew Supply has really shortened up this week, prices up.

Strawberries – Time to have these everywhere in shops, fruit getting better as is price point.

Pineapples – extremely short supply, some Queensland growers between patches, very little fruit coming over.

Watermelon – Still a disaster over eats, paying our growers over $4/kg, we had to match to get supply.

Have a great weekend 🙂
