"The Italian lemon season has now ended. Some Sicilian lemons were being sold in Verona yesterday at €1.40/kg and in Syracuse at 60-75 cents (Primofiore and Verdello varieties respectively), a sign that there is only little Italian produce left on the market."
"The Spanish Verna variety campaign is also ending and prices have dropped a little. The extra category was being sold at €1.50-1.60/kg lately and the standard category reached €1.00-1.10/kg. The season will continue for another 7/15 days."
"You need to add 10 cents more per kg for South African lemons because their quality is better."
"Prices are stabilising now, but it is difficult to talk about expectations for the next few weeks. Everything can happen when the Spanish campaign is over."
