According to Moretti, the first 2-3 months of the campaign were not very good as prices were unsatisfactory. "Bigger grades did better, whereas it will be more difficult to place the smaller ones, also because we want to be identified with a high-quality produce so it does not make sense to put them on the market."
The great number of smaller grades is due to the abundant blossoming and setting. "Probably growers did not use correct thinning techniques to manage fructification."
This does not apply to golden kiwis, though, "as both the market and perspectives are looking good."
