Plantain banana

The market was primarily supplied by Colombia, with prices fluctuating from 0.85 to 1.00 euro/kg, in a context of regular supply but moderate demand. The spring crisis was only slowly eliminated, with prices struggling to recover a higher level. It was hard to break the purchaser’s habit of having access to a cheap product. The rate for Ecuadorian fruits maintained lower but stable levels.

Chayote and christophine

The price for chayotes and christophines from Costa Rica, the main supplier to the European market, remained stable and regular. French production proceeded with its season, gaining in value until mid-November, with rates tending to align with those of Costa Rica thereafter.

Dasheen

With a fairly stable rate of 2.20 to 2.30 euros/kg, dasheens from Saint Vincent sold regularly. Rates remained strong overall given the scarcity of the supply. Martinique also supplied dasheens by air, sold at a higher price (3.80 to 3.90 euros/kg) given the higher delivery costs.

Chilli Pepper

Until early November, most of the chilli pepper supply was based on a European supply, with French produce supplemented by Portuguese produce, and to a lesser extent Dutch produce. Rates for French chilli peppers were fairly fluctuating, depending on the shipment quality and size. Portuguese produce was sold on a downward market from late October, because of a more substantial overall supply. The Dominican Republic restarted its shipments from late November, when the European sources dried up. The livelier demand at the end of the year benefited this source, with prices rising until the second half of December. Some batches from Martinique and Guadeloupe rounded off the supply, with prices distinctly higher for Guadeloupe, which was delivering products of regular quality.
