Market Update

Morning All

Just a quick market update

Some Prices are being affected due to the price of fuel – all of the trucking companies are adding fuel levies to the prices – and obviously this looks like it will remain in place for the next few weeks/months.

Apples – we now have new season Gala, Kanzi/Hi early, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Granny Smiths.

Pears – we now have new season Packham, Nashi, Red and Bosch.

Persimmon – first lot arrived today from local farms, and they are sensational.

Pomegranates – still some nice local fruit coming through if you need to fill some space on shelves.

Strawberries -prices have spiked dramatically, Monday Stella will be $7.50/punnet and cheaper growers $5.50/punnet, PLEASE specify or I will give you the best.

Blueberries – Locals are just about done, all Blues will be New Zealand fruit starting Monday.

Potatoes – Growers are screaming with increased Fuel prices and have introduced a Cost of Production Levy of $0.60/bag starting 1st April, I will be in touch next week once I find out more.

Tomatoes – E/States market has spiked, our local farms are sending fruit directly to them, we need to match or we won’t get any supply, sorry :(.

Stange times at the moment, everyone stay safe and Go Tigers 🙂
