The mango supply to the European market gradually altered in September. The Israeli campaign continued, though shipments slowed down bit by bit. Quantities of Kent, Shelly and Omer rapidly decreased, giving way to Keitt, mainly aimed at the supermarket sector. Rates of these products saw more considerable decreases for end-of-cycle varieties. Kent and Keitt prices remained higher, though they dropped in the second half-month. Meanwhile, Spanish Osteen volumes rose steadily, selling at prices which fell as the supply increased. Big price differences were observed depending on the fruit sizes, their quality and commercial brands available. Meanwhile Spain continued its Irwin shipments in limited quantities, which sold steadily at high prices aimed at traditional stores. In the second half-month, the Spanish supply was enriched with Kent, which was available in low quantities, obtaining strong and high prices given the near-absence of this variety on the market. Brazil also supplied the European market, with volumes increasing considerably. The increase in tonnages of Tommy Atkins, Keitt and Palmer from this origin led to a more marked dip in rates in the latter part of the month.
The air-freight market was under-supplied overall, with the end of the Israeli campaign and Brazil’s gradual start, its supply primarily comprising Red Moon and Palmer, less sought-after in Europe. These products sold steadily at average prices, in the absence of real competition. Additional batches from Egypt sold at stable rates, favoured by the varietal exclusiveness of Kent and in spite of a frequent lack of coloration. Brazilian Kent made a hesitant start at the end of the month, selling at high prices.
