German veg stocks not fully utilized

Vegetable stocks in Germany are mostly stable. Just 2% more vegetables from conventional production have been stored up until the deadline (1st December 2014) in Germany. So the stocks are at the average of the last year.

While the low onion stocks recovered, the carrots show heavy losses compared to the previous year. Good weather conditions and area expansions lead to higher stocks in cabbage, red cabbage, celery and beetroot. The generally favoured growing conditions and the mild autumn lead to big and good sized vegetables but the long-lasting moisture in August resulted in some quality problems. Carrots endured a loss due to damage done by mice. A market analysis by “Markt Woche Obst & Gemüse” shows what the stock quantities were overall and individually. It also shows the reduced stocks for onions in October and November were already enormous.

Besides the existing stocks many other factors are influencing the vegetable market. The latest developments can be seen via the online service of “Markt aktuell Gemüse”. Take advantage of the benefits of buying in the shop and make sure you have access to expert knowledge.
