In the first half of October, the European mango market swelled due to the ongoing significant shortages from Spain and the rise in volumes shipped by Brazil in a context of stagnant demand. The final batches from Israel heightened this trend. In the third week of the month, Spain began withdrawing from the market with the end of Osteen, replaced with smaller shipments of Keitt. These products came up against competition from substantial volumes of Keitt from Brazil, already well established on the market. After a stable phase in the third week of October, the market strengthened again at the end of the month, with the near-disappearance of Spanish mangoes, which left the market in the grip of the Brazilian produce. Throughout the month, Brazilian Keitt imposed itself as the go-to variety in the absence of Kent, which made up only approximately 10 % of shipments. The share of Palmer also dwindled in favour of Keitt. The gradual recovery in demand consolidated this strengthening trend at the end of the month. However, considerable price variations were observed according to produce quality and sizing available. The predominance of large sizes led to overpricing of the rarer median sizes.
Air-freight mangoes from Brazil enjoyed a good market trend. While Red Moon and Palmer prices remained fairly stable in October, Kent prices, available in small quantities, soared with sales of up to 6.00 euros/kg at the end of the period. Some small Haden batches from Peru appeared in the second part of the month. Though still insignificant in terms of quantity, they traded at high prices (around 6.00 euros/kg).
