In June, the lines remained focused on the Spanish Valencia Late, available in small quantities (lean campaign) and at high prices. Hence the South African Navel sold well, especially on the North European markets, despite its still pale coloration. Having started early at the beginning of June, with very high volumes (+ 142 %), the campaign maintained average prices. In July, despite slower sales, prices strengthened slightly because of the end of the Spanish campaign and the South African supply returning to average levels. Imports started to wane rapidly from late July, due to the early start to the campaign. Hence the South African Valencia arrived in August to find a lightly laden market. Given the lean harvest predicted and the shortage of small-size fruits, prices were high, except for the more abundant larger fruits. Prices remained strong and slightly above average.
