October saw low prices for Colombian and Ecuadorian plantains, due to weak demand. The fall in the supply from November restored more favourable market conditions until the end of the period. In late November, the fall in the supply and pick-up in demand for the end-of-year festivities led to a price peak. After a slight downturn in early December, prices strengthened again until the end of the year.
Chayote and christophine
Prices were stable and steady for French produce throughout Q4. The christophine campaign came to a rapid end in December with lower quality produce, though the small quantities shipped helped prices hold up. Costa Rican produce sold in parallel then saw their rates strengthen.
The price of Saint Vincent dasheens varied between 3.00 and 3.60 euros/kg, with peaks of up to 3.80 euros/kg due to fluctuating volumes and fairly stable demand. The highest prices were obtained in October when shipments were at their lowest. Small air-freight quantities were received regularly, selling on a footing of 4.00 euros/kg
The market was mostly supplied by French produce in Q4. Prices remained stable in October during the production peak. With steady though smaller shipments from November, prices rocketed to 8.00 euros/kg on average. They dipped in December at the end of the campaign as the quality of the produce became less reliable. The Dominican Republic then took over, shipping restrained volumes which obtained high prices, enjoying good demand for the end-of-year festivities. Some batches from various EU countries were temporarily available, at prices aligned on those of French produce. At the end of the year, Israeli chilli peppers sold at around 7.00 euros/kg. Though exhibiting good visual quality, they received a mixed reception because of their less pronounced spiciness.
