There were some shifts this year in tomato acreage, from the ordinary bunch tomatoes to specialties. Cuypers believes that, so far, the season has been pretty smooth. "We had a pretty good start, especially when compared with last year, it was really bad then. Then there were some ups and downs, and now we have high production levels and there is pressure on the market. In the last few days prices have been tumbling towards 40 cents. So now it is going to get trickier, normally we can keep hold at 40 cents. Falling farther than this would not be good of course."
