Vegetables
Cabbage Green – cabbage is still very short and close to $5 each.
Burpless Cucumber – very light in supply, hard to find decent burpless for under $3, there is a lot of cheap Geraldton but it’s not good enough for Country.
Zucchini – I haven’t been happy with quality, the recent bad weather has caused a lot of damage and zucchinis are scratchy, price also firm but has come down slightly.
Beans – are extremely short at the moment, there is cheaper stringless beans $18/kg but not good enough to send Country, KB Beans $24+.
Tomatoes – we have had a much better week with a good supply of Geraldton tomatoes, quality a lot better, prices also starting to ease.
Pumpkins – Kent and Butternuts still very short, E/states strong market not helping.
Fruit
Bananas– prices are easing but fruit still very short and quality only ok.
Coconut – some beautiful fruit now coming through if you want to try, also some drinking coconuts.
Oranges – prices are good so make the most of stock those shelves.
Strawberries – good supply so stock those shelves, I will give you best available unless you specify otherwise.
Kiwi Fruit – still waiting next container, hoping for early next week. Still no pre-pack.
Mandarins – getting to that time of year, Afourer have finished and most local fruit not great from water damage, the better-quality fruit is E/States, and we have some Venus Imperials available for Monday/Tuesday, these are very sweet :), these will be $7/kg.
Mangoes – have started but aren’t cheap, customers that have tried them are selling well.
Watermelon– we have some beautiful Kununurra and Broome fruit now coming through and prices have eased.
Have a great weekend
