Key Company Trends & Developments

European Stonefruit Season Starts Smoothly : The European stonefruit market is well balanced in terms of supply and demand and is showing stability in prices, according to Catalan fruit association Afrucat. Lower volumes and high quality has led to a favourable start to the 2015 season. Afrucat expects Spanish peach and nectarine production in the current season to be about 2% lower y-o-y. Elsewhere in Europe, France is projected to see a 12% drop in production to about 205,000 tonnes, while Greek output is set to fall 26% to 545,000 tonnes after spring frosts resulted in a poor fruit set. Production in Italy is expected to increase 2%, however. Total European peach and nectarine volumes will be 6% lower y-o-y and 4% below the five-year average.
