January 2021 brought a very marked downturn in the European market supply. According to our estimates (certain Member States including Poland have not disclosed their imports from third countries), the supply was approximately down 7 % in January 2021 (from January 2020). We need to go back to January 2017 to find such small volumes at the start of the year. Unsurprisingly, it is the dollar zone which dragged down the trend, with imports down from all origins except Panama. Guatemala saw a collapse (cyclone effect), and the three big suppliers (Ecuador, Colombia and Costa Rica) favoured the USA in their trade-offs. Peru scaled back, confirming its recent trend. Regarding the ACPs, Cameroon perked up, Côte d’Ivoire reduced its supply and Ghana bounced back. The Dominican Republic had an excellent January (new record). European production registered a big fall, on both Martinique and the Canaries. Guadeloupe did continue its rise.
