Luca Garletti.
Mc Garlet imports and distributes exotic and counterseasonal fruit, so it is also in touch with changes happening in the opposite hemisphere. "The El Niño phenomenon is causing great confusion. Some producer countries are way ahead with their crops, while others are behind. Being north or south of the Equator means temperatures are cooler or warmer than average, and of course this affects the life cycle of plants."
This is happening, for example, to mangos. The season in Peru started one month early and is now finishing one month early. Central America has had an abnormal blossoming (at least -50%) and the entrepreneur reveals that "our usual suppliers have only guaranteed 25% of the usual quantities."
"The avocado situation is also confused as shipments from Chile and Mexico were supposed to start on week 7 or 8, but we are still waiting to see what happens."
"We cannot calculate the magnitude and speed of the changes occurring at every level. It is increasingly difficult to work - maybe the basic rules are still the same as in the past, the problem is we have forgotten them because we are being involved in a vortex of uncertainty. I believe the seasons that set the pace for our grandfathers were also useful to the psychophysical stability of entire generations. Nowadays, we are losing all our points of references. The fact that the seasons are disappearing is confusing humanity, and we do not know what awaits us."
