US late-season navel oranges and Egyptian oranges

The volume of grapes from the Southern hemisphere is increasing as well. But when we compare the imported grapes from Chile, Peru and Australia, only Chilean grapes are selling smoothly and for a good price. An example is the XL norm. XL red grapes of good quality can sell for 160 RMB to 170 RMB. The Peruvian red grapes are at the end of the season now and have a stable price. J norm grapes fetch a price of around 140 RMB to 150 RMB, but they sell slowly. The Australian seedless grapes of this season don't get high prices at all. Knowing that the production costs have increased slightly compared to last year, the oranges are sold at an average price below 300 RMB and they sell slowly as well.

The only grapes imported in Shanghai from the Northern hemisphere come from India. Compared to last year, the packaging and taste of the Indian grapes have clearly improved. At the same time, the Indian grapes are all seedless black grapes. Other countries mostly export red grapes, so they don't have the same competitive strength. The Chilean black grapes from this season are still in a period of increasing taste and Australian black grapes are mainly supplying high-end markets. These combined factors create a void on the market for the Indian black grapes, so their price has been going up in the past two weeks.

The only real competition on the market comes from the Chilean green grapes. Nonetheless, it is reasonable to expect that the price for an 8.2kg case will remain at 230 RMB with a smooth sales speed.
