Sales of Spanish mandarins take, but those of lemon are still dramatic
The Spanish mandarin season is slowly starting at Marni Fruit. “For us, the focus is on leafy mandarins, which we supply under the Pardo and King’s brands. At the start of the season, market conditions for Spanish mandarins were very bad, but now that the supply of overseas mandarins is running out, people are starting to turn to Spanish production, ”explains Erik-Jan Thur. “We get enough tangerines and I think the sales are not that bad. "
“We don't work as much with Satsumas. Prices vary between 8 and 8.50 euros for the good sizes and between 7 and 7.50 euros for the smallest. These aren't great prices, but there is currently a large supply of Nadorcott overseas and they are just better in taste and color. The prices for leaf mandarins are currently between 10.50 and 12 euros, ”explains Erik-Jan. The supply of Clemenules is expected to be drastically reduced, but the importer prefers to wait to make sure. “After all, you have to see first, then believe. It was often said that the volume was smaller and at the end of the day we had had enough and had a hard time keeping up with the supply. "
According to the importer, the clientele for mandarins with leaf remains mainly ethnic target groups. “Currently, mandarins with leaves are not yet completely orange in color, but they are excellent in terms of taste. Ethnic customers understand it, but supermarkets cannot get rid of it. This weekend, Marni Fruit will also receive the first Spanish Navelinas. “Currently, there are still a lot of oranges from South Africa, but also from Argentina and Peru on the market. Their prices vary between 11 and 13 euros and I would like to start at the same level with the Spanish oranges next week. "
Sales of lemons are currently dramatic, according to Erik-Jan. “There is still a lot of supply from the old Spanish harvest on the market, but no one wants these lemons anymore. The Spaniards would prefer to start with the new Primofiori crop, but prices stand at around 14 euros, while those from overseas are still for sale at 7.50-10 euros. So the market will need to be cleaned up first if we are to get off to a good start. When the coronavirus pandemic broke, everyone thought that consuming citrus fruits in general and lemons in particular was the key to staying healthy. It drove up prices and sales dramatically, but now there is none of that! "
