This product, so iconic of the end-of-year holidays, has struggled to get started this season. While the quality of fruits shipped to Europe by air-freight has been up to scratch, volumes have been large in view of the extremely slack demand. Things augur better for the sea-freight campaign. On the one hand, the supply will return to a level similar to 2015. On the other hand, the commercial window will be wider, with the season starting one week earlier. The 7 700 pallets on the first ship will be unloaded on 5 December, with the second ship docking in the Northern ports in week 50.
