CIRAD-FLHOR-ARF - FRA. 2003. Indicators January 2003 : banana, avocado, orange, graperfruit, easy peelers, litchi. Fruitrop (English ed.) (99) : 15-21.

Résumé : Banana: After the spectacular recovery at the end of December, the banana market was more hesitant in January. The average price rose only slightly, in contrast with operators' expectations and in spite of smaller releases than in the previous seasons. Export movements remained dynamic while the local market was very disappointing. Avocado: The return of supply to normal observed in December did not last long. Overall shipments displayed a distinct shortfall in January in spite of the still stronger presence of Mexico than in past years. The average price therefore remained particularly high at over Euro 2 per kg. Orange: Performance was satisfactory in spite of a marked decrease in comparison with an excellent 2002 vintage. Demand was vigorous at the beginning of the month, taking large quantities of fruits. But the balance then became delicate as the result of a general slump and the uneven quality of the last Navelines. The Tunisian Maltese season got off to a difficult start. GraPefruit: Lack-lustre performance. Although the balance is positive as a result of modest shipments and active demand, the situation is much more contrasted for the other origins on the market. Indeed, releases of Israeli and Turkish fruits were much slower but the prices nevertheless held up thanks to moderate quantities. Easy peelers: Performance was still satisfactory. Although quantities were distinctly higher than those of the past two years, the average prices attained the high 2001/2002 level. Nevertheless, although the balance is positive overall, the second half of the month was less buoyant as a result of a distinct decrease in quality and the switch to varieties less preferred by consumers. Litchi: The progress of the Madagascar litchi marketing season changed considerably for the worse in January. In spite of a decrease in the arrivals from Madagascar, the market gradually became saturated as a result of increasing supplies from South Africa and sluggish demand. Prices weakened progressively and then fell strongly at the end of the month.
