Price developments this season are not unusual, says Nusslé:
"Low prices are typical for the Italian goods, but that is the same every year. So we see little influence from factors like heat or too little rain. Prickly pears from Colombia are flown in, which costs more, but there too we see no large price differences compared to previous years." The quality of the fruits is just as good this year. "The goods are steady, good and beautiful," says the trader.
"We have had prickly pears in our assortment for about 15 years, when there was demand during the Christmas season; since then, they have been available practically all year round." Demand has remained strong at Giovanelli ever since. Prickly pears can be obtained from Italy until October or November, after which there fruits from Colombia or Israel are available.
