Lower yield Abate pears due to weather
Together with Johann Rapali, Gabriella Rapalli leads Cavalleri GmbH & Co.KG
The firm Cavalleri has specialized in the trading of pears. Their assortment currently only includes offers from Italy. “At the moment, we are making various types of pear. For example Abate Fetel, Boscs Kaiser, Santa Maia, Carmen, as well as green and red Williams Christ – all in various sizes.”
Demand
While there is less demand for Boscs Kaiser pears, the types Santa Maria and Williams Christ are faring better, the wholesale trader from Munich explains. “Later in the seaon, Abate Fetel pears also do very well. Especially because, similarly to Kaiser, it is a winterproof pear. The availability of the type Santa Maria usually ends around the end of December, start of January. These are then replaced by other types.”
Prognosis
According to Rapali, an exact prognosis regarding the course of the season cannot yet be made this early in the season. Until now the season has been proceeding as normally as possible. “The months of December, January and February are always decisive times in the season,” the wholesale trader explains. “For it is decided in these months whether the season will be better or worse.”
