Clear market thanks to moderate overall supply

Spanish grapefruit volumes were much smaller than in previous years (45 % below average). In addition, because of the end of the production peak for certain cooperatives, the seasonal fall made itself felt from the end of the month. Incoming Turkish shipments were also very limited, leading to a slight tension for this origin. Israeli exports meanwhile remained stable, albeit still 18 % below average. In the face of this, demand proved rather satisfactory. In this context prices were stable, evening strengthening for certain origins.

On the tropical grapefruit segment, no changes were observed. Volumes from Florida remained well in shortfall, while price levels were historically high.
