"Netherlands: "Good avocado market"

The market for Hass avocados is at a good level. This is according to Ron Jongejan of the Dutch sales office of Jaguacy, which in Brazil is market leader with avocados. "Last year sales in June/July were a lot less. Now Peru have even sent less avocados and the supply from Brazil is also a lot more gradual, which results in much quicker sales."

The prices for Hass avocados are good. "But for that it is important that the market is not oversupplied. At the start of the avocado season prices were good as well, but all of a sudden a lot more avocados were sent. We receive three containers per week at the moment and those are all sold quickly. From the end of July we expect five to six containers per week up to week 38," Ron concludes.

Also the office in Maasdijk have received Brazilian limes under Jaguacy brand in the sizes 42, 48 and 54. The limes are available in boxes of 4.5 kgs.
