Sales in the CGG countries are slow for the most part and this can also be contributed to the lockdown and closure of public schools and restaurants in certain countries.

Grape, Stone & Kiwi Fruit
Grapes
The increase in demand and price levels for white grapes from South Africa in Saudi Arabia can be contributed to the low supply from South Africa as a result of the end of the season. Price levels for Indian grapes are under pressure as they compete with South Africa in the market.
Middle East – Decrease of -28% on cumulative volumes shipped to date compared to 2020 season.
Chile has started harvesting their first Red Globe grapes, however volumes are still low.
Stone fruit
There is already pressure in Europe, UK and Far East on Plums. Although less plums have been sent to the Middle East market this season, the market is slow and this is causing a downward trend in price levels.
Shipped YTD from South Africa:
There are concerns on bigger volumes towards the tail-end of the season being sent to the Middle East and European markets, however the overall quality of the South African crop is good and offers the potential opportunity for controlled supply to the market.
Peaches to Middle East – increase of 3% on cumulative volumes shipped to date compared to 2020 season.
Nectarines to Middle East – decrease of 36% on cumulative volumes shipped to date compared to 2020 season.
Plums to Middle East – increase of 5% on cumulative volumes shipped to date compared to 2020 season.
Apricots to Middle East – increase of 146% on cumulative volumes shipped to date compared to 2020 season.

India / Bangladesh
India
Apple and pear prices are increasing slowly each week. Citrus prices dropping each week and plum prices keeping stable. Implementation of NON GMO certificate is now for fruit departing export country from 1 March. Seems like SA has a solution for this which will be a positive for SA apples. Red Globe grapes are struggling to sell as limited catering services.
Bangladesh
Things are looking up in the market for apples in Bangladesh. Whilst Goldens have held their status, the Qinguan variety has improved it’s performance, however Fuji’s and Jiguan varieties need to follow suit by upping their game. At the same time, we are seeing good demand for South African Gala varieties with the onset of the exports from the Western Cape. Egyptian navels, whilst not creating great enthusiasm, are at least not causing massive distress either, as sales just about cover costs.
