Low prices for table grapes in the European market were registered. This is the result, in some cases, of the poor quality and condition of the fruit, and over supply.
White Seedless Grape Market:
Decofrut pointed out that the situation for the Sugraone variety is difficult, since it has shown greater quality and
condition problems than the Thompson Seedless. However, this last variety does not report dynamic sales, but achieved
better sales rate. Given this situation Chilean Sugraone prices, during week 11, tended to be at a low, concentrating their FOT prices around €10.88 / 8.2 kilos (size L), which is 22% lower in relation to the average price in the same week of last season.
Meanwhile, the average value of the Thompson Seedless variety is € 12.88 for 8.2 kilos.
On the other hand, Decofrut notes that while the South African grape season is coming to an end, there is still presence of this fruit, in a significant volume in the market.
England: In this part of Europe, the demand for table grapes remains moderate, while the price range is very wide due to heterogeneity in the quality and condition of the fruit.
Red Seedless Grape Market:
As for red varieties, Decofrut notes that both the Continent and in England, the market remains very complicated due to high presence of Flame Seedless volumes and the various problems of quality and condition observed this season in the South African and Chilean supply.
Regarding prices, Chile reached for the Flame Seedless variety prices around €6.5 for 4.5 kilos format (size L) and €7.5 for the punnet (5 kilos) format. This last value is 43% lower compared to last season.
On the other hand, in England, despite low prices at which Flame Seedless is being offered, dynamism does not increase considerably. Meanwhile, the Crimson Seedless variety FOT prices reached £6-£7 / 4.5 kilo box.
Finally, as for the market trend for red seedless table grapes, Decofrut notes that although no major changes are foreseen for Flame Seedless, in the near future it is expected for Crimson Seedless to achieve better results.
Market for Red Globe and other varieties:
Like the previous weeks, Decofrut states that Red Globe sales were quiet, with prices according to quality and condition, having mainly, Peruvian and South African offer.
