The situation was difficult despite the declared production shortfalls. Demand remained very quiet because of overly mild temperatures for consumption until mid-November. Quality concerns (coloration, small sizes) for early-season varieties (Clemenrubi, Oronules) hindered sales, with prices remaining below-average in October. In November, despite sales picking up and the declared production shortfalls, the market remained swollen due to bigger shipments than in previous years: Spanish Nules and clementines from Corsica and Morocco entered the market early. Volumes progressed rapidly, in higher quantities than in previous years because of the high temperatures in the production zones (rapid fruit maturation). Hence prices for Spanish and Moroccan clementines continued to fall, down to lower levels than in previous years.
