The market remained firm and balanced. While demand was not particularly dynamic, the supply remained limited. The last Floridian volumes, well below-average, were received at the beginning of the month (a historically short campaign). Stocks were able to feed the market, though with very limited volumes and above all small sizes. Hence prices for the origin, already very high, maintained record levels. The Mediterranean grapefruit supply started to decrease. The seasonal fall from Spain began, with below-average volumes (production shortfall and campaign ahead of schedule), while Turkey exhibited a smaller market presence. Only Israel saw a rise, with bigger volumes than in previous years (late-season strategy). In this context prices remained firm and above average. The first Corsican batches entered the market at the end of the month, bearing in mind that the campaign is predicted to be below-average (winds causing production losses).
