Market Update

**Please jump on here every week for updates, we no longer post on our WhatsApp, as it got hacked, any updates I will put here in the Market Update, so please jump on to check**

VEG NEWS

Iceberg Lettuce – Price easing slightly and supply increasing. 
Asparagus – Will be Mexican this week still.
Broccoli – Broccoli is up in price next week.
Lebanese Cucumbers – prices firm as supply has not increased. 
Celery – Price of celery went up again this week. I’ve been told supply will pick up next week and prices will ease but only slightly.
Onions – Red onion quality has not been great. Our go to grower ran out so we have been trying to find quality suppliers until he comes back on line hopefully next week. 
Burpless Cumbers – Should have plenty in the markets next week fingers crossed. 
Eggs – Eggs are still a huge problem. we may supply eggs next week that are not exactly what you ordered to fill demand. 

Roma Tomatoes – We have some nice loose Roma coming through, PLEASE avoid 500g pre-packs, they are always over ripe and breaking down, these are packed off site and we have no control over quality, please stick to loose.
Root Vegetables – All local root vegetable supply has dried up. may need to get eastern states stock until local growers’ supply picks up 

FRUIT NEWS

Bananas – Bananas should be back to full supply next week
Rockmelons/Honeydew – We have a new rockmelon grower started and we are very happy with quality.
Pomegranate – Local Pomegranate in season 
Nashi Pear – First nashi pears have arrived in the markets. Supply will be low next week but will pick up. will be in full supply in 1 or 2 weeks
Avocado – Prices are staying high
Mangoes – Mangoes are still around but in short supply.
Strawberries– Strawberries from berry sweet were not nice on Thursday and we reverted to South Australian fruit. Will have to make a call next week which berries are nicer. still tough times. 
Pink Lady Apples – Some new season Apples from eastern states around but still very early. We still highly suggest ordering Galas. 
USA Oranges – Big shipment of fresh USA navels arriving Monday
Mandarins – Have been out of stock. hopefully some more Egyptian fruit end of next week.
Blueberries – We have been happy with the latest batch of NZ blueberries. Still no local blueberries around. 

Thank you
