The summer campaign began in a context of under-supply, with the end of the last winter stocks and first limited imports from South Africa in June (12 % below average), which was set for a leaner campaign than the previous one. A lack of small-size fruits was observed, and the market, in a very tight state, registered historically high prices (+ 40 %). In July, the slump in demand, plus the rising South African supply (14 % above average) caused a drop in rates for large sizes, which were more abundant. However, prices remained very high for the season (+ 46 %). However, the distinct fall in demand in August, South African volumes subsiding though still very high (69 % above average) and Mexico’s early start, all led to stocks of large-sized fruit forming, and to a more significant fall in prices. Average rates returned to last year’s level.
