Market Update

Morning All, just a quick market update.

Gala – We have some amazing local Gala that have been released, fruit is very clean and great colour, but will cost $8/kg.

Red Apples – Pinklady apples are the best quality by far, and nearly the cheapest, although they are still $7/kg, Bagging apples are very short and cost as must as shelf size fruit, we will continue to bag fruit for customers but expect to pay the same as Premium size.

Red Capsicum – is extremely short, numbers coming in are very low so expect cutbacks, prices are very high, some floors are charging $14+/kg, we are only weeks away from local/southwest season.

Broccolini – has become very tight, expect cut backs.

Sweet Potato – prices over East are $100/box, to get supply from Queensland, our Agents have had to lift prices, this shortage will go through Christmas.

Pumpkins – prices have gone up slightly, all produce is coming from Carnarvon, Southwest and local season only weeks away.

Tomatoes – we are now into local season, fruit is awesome :).

Apricots – quality is sensational with my favorite small grower now picking, these are a must try, season will be short.

Raspberries – new season Southwest fruit has finally started :).

Watermelon – This time of the year is always difficult when we rely on Carnarvon growers, fruit is never clean, but is actually cutting better this year, Swan Valley watermelon is about 4 weeks away, fruit is looking good, so until then please just hang in there, we know quality isn’t great but there is no other option.

Kiwi fruit – kiwi fruit green is back in supply, we have the last of some New Zealand, but also have USA arriving Thursday.

Grapes – arriving today we have some beautiful grapes ready for Monday, Whites will be Honey Pop, these are sensational, Red will most probably be Red Celebration, and we also have Black Candy Crunch which I ate way too many of this morning, stock up everyone.

Thanks everyone
