“The customers visit the market and the first thing they notice are the grapes,” tells the wholesaler, “And they try and taste the grapes too. People just like to eat grapes.” The current demand is clear, “Customers really want grapes, especially the green seedless varieties,” states the expert.
But that will soon be a problem. “There will be a shortage of green seedless grapes in the coming weeks,” predicts the importer, “The last pallets of South African grapes and a few batches from Chile are currently arriving. Then only Indian grapes will be available for three weeks, and their quality isn’t very good.” This only concerns green seedless grapes.
“Good products have their price”
“All other varieties will be available, however good products have their price,” states the fruit trader from Munich, “At the moment the red seedless grapes cost between 15 and 18 Euros and black seedless cost between 16 and 18 Euros, but in the next few weeks the prices can still improve.”
Green seedless grapes are in short supply
“At the moment green seedless grapes are in short supply, or rather there are relatively few good quality grapes available,” explains the trader, “We are, just as all the others, on the look out for high quality products. However we end up with the lower quality.” The importer fears the next few weeks. “I saw photos of the Indian grapes and the quality is really horrifying. If the grapes really look like that, then I will suggest my customers change to the red or black varieties.”
