The first week of December represented the hinge between the air-freight season and sea-freight season. This period always proves complicated since it relies on the volumes received by air being marketable before the arrival of the first sea-freight litchis. The rate for treated air-freight litchis strengthened slightly in week 49 because of a considerable fall in supply levels. However, the last batches from Mauritius, still available at the beginning of week 50, were sold on a falling market to prevent confrontation with the first sea-freight batches, the delivery costs of which were distinctly lower. The Reunion air-freight season proceeded with volumes expanding in the run-up to the Christmas holidays. Sales of these products accelerated during the holiday period, enabling rates to pick up significantly. The lowest prices in the ranges set out below correspond to untrussed fruits. The highest prices were charged for trussed fruits.
The cargo of the first ship out of Madagascar, received in Zeebrugge on 10 December, went to market under good conditions. The strong pull of demand, especially from the European supermarket sector, enabled rapid distribution of most of the quantities available. The good overall quality of Madagascan fruits buoyed this burst of interest, supported by numerous in-store promotions. The second conventional ship from Madagascar scheduled for this season arrived on 16 December, thus supplementing the supply for the period between Christmas and New Year’s Day, until the arrival of the litchis shipped in sea containers in the first ten days of January. The rates for Madagascan litchis shifted as they went onto the market, in order to keep the distributors interested and encourage promotions attractive for consumers. Sale prices
