Market Update

Morning All

Just a quick market update

Vegetables

Broccolini will be extremely short for the next several weeks.

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

Tomatoes – Carnarvon quality hasn’t been great, but we have had some Geraldton start this week which seems better.

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 – Glasshouse all finished unfortunately, only Geraldton and Carnarvon available, these will not have the shelf life your used to.

Burpless – we are doing our best to find good burpless, unfortunately our grower MF sold his property, not many good growers left, supply very short and prices high.

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 $1.50 each.

Fruit

Grapes – USA fruit is available but supply very inconsistent.

Oranges – We are now on to Late Lanes, fruit is solid.

Mandarins – Nectars are now finished and we move on to the Afourer variety.

Strawberries – Starting to get into some very nice 1st year fruit.

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

Watermelon – end of week we saw a massive spike in prices, E/states market is extremely short, so they have taken our fruit and paid the growers $4/kg, we need to match to get supply Monday.

Have a great weekend 🙂
