"The demand for Conference pears is starting to get going. That harvest is comparable to last year, but there is 70 and 20% less of Doyenne du Comice and Lukassen respectively, and the Elstar harvest is halved. But it all still has to happen. The demand for small packaging, which was in full swing already last year, is still slightly lacking and you can see this in the auction prices of the small sizes. What's positive this year are the sugar levels of the apples and pears. Those are of a fantastic level. We have delicious fruit to sell and hopefully this will make up for the smaller production."
