Retail demand and consumption remain unchanged in our domestic market. Drier weather over the past week means that land conditions are favorable for groundwork.

Prices have stabilized over the past week.

Temperatures have since returned to normal but crops will be delayed "by 7 to 10 days". In France, it is noted that "non-traditional" varieties which were grown because of the overall lack of seed last year are proving hard to move.
