| Orange |
|
The actual offer for Brazilian OJC is between US$ 1200 and 1300/MT, 66 Brix. The first USDA forecast for the imminent Florida crop of just 231 million boxes has surely contributed to this price range. |
 |
| Mandarine |
|
The prices for mandarin are more or less in line with orange. |
|
| Grapefruit |
|
The USDA forecast for Florida consists in a slightly better crop than the previous one.
Hurricane "Michelle" caused some damages in Cuba. |
|
| Lemon |
|
A strong demand for fresh fruit and lemon juice concentrate leads to a reversal of a trend and thereby to steady prices. |
|
| Pineapple |
|
The small available quantities of pine juice concentrate and the not looking promising Thailand crop will lead to further price increases. |
|
| Apple |
|
Sufficient availability of sweet product, the supply situation for high acid product is tight (rising prices). |
|
| Pear |
|
A pretty good demand seems to lead to steady / rising prices. |
|
| Passionfruit |
|
Meanwhile the prices for passion juice concentrate have reached US$ 3000/mt, 50 Brix.
Due to the high fresh fruit prices further price increases are expected.
|
|
| Apricot |
|
Briefly the market situation: tight offer; steady price. Good crop forecast for the Southern Hemisphere (South Africa, Argentina and Chile). |
|
| Peach |
|
Supply situation looks better than the apricot one. The approaching crop in the Southern Hemisphere should bring some improvement. |
|
| Grape |
|
Quiet market situation. |
|
| Mango |
|
Unchanged tense supply situation for Indian products (Alphonso and Totapuri). Good crop forecast in South America keep moderate prices for Peru = "Chato de Ica"; Ecuador = "Criollo"; Columbia = "Magdalena River"). |
|
| Guava |
|
Good supply situation, steady prices. |
|
| Banana |
|
The Hurricane "Iris" seems to have largely destoyed the banana crop in Honduras. The other supplier will surely be able to cover the demands. |
