Grape, Stone & Mango
Grapes
The grape market continues to face pressure due to oversupply. High-quality grapes are trading at standard market rates; however, lower-quality fruit is being rejected by the market. White, red, and black seedless varieties from South Africa are currently available. Seeded grapes are performing well, supported by limited supply.
Stone Fruit
Market performance for apricots has improved, driven primarily by limited supply. Nectarines and peaches remain under pressure, with large volumes of stock currently available in the market.
Mangoes
Large volumes of Shelly were loaded recently, and growers have also started packing Keitt and Kent varieties.
Market pricing is currently below average due to a high-volume vessel that arrived last week.

Apples
Northern hemisphere apples are struggling to move in Europe and more fruit is being shipped to the ME and India. The weakening USD and INR are also not helping the apple pricing. SA and Chile have already started to load Royal Gala two weeks earlier than normal. The ZAR is at R15.69 vs the USD as well. Apples are moving slowly through the supply chain currently because of high pricing.
Bangladesh
Awaiting RSA Royal Gala
Limited volumes of imported Royal Gala remain available in the market, while importers are showing a strong demand for the upcoming South African Royal Gala.
