The holiday period did not do operators any favours. The Hass supply level proved very high. Chilean imports remained very high, and counterbalanced the Israeli shortage, in a context of stable Spanish imports. Meanwhile, demand proved disappointing, even under the promotion programmes in the supermarket sector. The market was particularly tough for small fruits (sizes 22, 24, 26 and then 20 at the end of the month), still overabundant in the Chilean supply. Prices, low for this market segment, were in line with the average for previous years for sizes 14, 16 and 18. The green varieties market held up well, thanks to a very short supply level from both Spain and Israel. The average monthly price exhibited a roughly average level for these fruits.
