Slow start from Spain
Cold weather continues to slow the production in Spain and South America continues to play a major role in the market place. However Spain is reporting very good volumes of fruit on the canes which will respond as soon as the temperature begins to rise. Main Varieties coming forward will be Glen Lyon and the exclusive Brilliance
 Blackberries
Mexican wave
The seasonal switch from Europe to Mexico is now well underway and the Mexican season is now well underway with some excellent quality Tupi.
 Blueberries
Back on course
After a very late start and difficult initial period the Argentinean Season is now well underway, however the early issues have resulted in a reduction of the right quality fruit available for boat shipments which may affect volumes available for planned promotions. Chile on the other hand is very optimistic regarding the coming season and the crop looks to be in a very good condition which bodes well for the next three months.
One disappointment is that after a very good season the Australian crop suffered a torrential downpour with 14 inches of rain falling in one weekend. |
