Market Update 20/5/19

Product on the rise
 
Berries continue to be in short supply with strawberries seeing heavy price increases over the last week but should steady this week.
Broccoli has become tight in the market and may see a price rise later week.
Truss Tomatoes have seen a early week price rise as quantity slows up. With Truss being the best value tomato over the last few weeks sales have surged with this now changing.
Cauliflower, like Broccoli has seen quantities decline in the market putting pressure on price. With excellent quality, sales have been larger than normal.
Cucumber lines are a little firmer in price at moment due to some cooler growing conditions.
 
Product to ease
 
Green Beans this week are great value and worth a try.
Smaller Leeks in bunches, grown in Yarrawonga are now available and a good cheaper option to case lines.
Bananas have eased in price and may continue to do so later week as an abundance of product is currently available.
Zucchini has eased a little after the highs of last week.
Gourmet Tomatoes have settled a little with quality excellent this week.
Coriander, Continental Parsley and Baby Buk Choy will all be good value this week with excellent quality available.
 
We have some great local Spinach Mix, grown in Yarrawonga available this week and well priced to sell - this grower was looking to move a large amount and asked for us to help!
No worries, we said!
We are always happy to help our local growers when needed.

We did see some stock movement last week with 'ups and downs' and this week looks to continue in the same manner.
Queensland growing areas saw some heavy rain slowing some Queensland product from being available.
Including Iceberg Lettuce,  Gourmet Tomatoes and Capsicum lines.
This has added to product not being as readily available as should be.
Quality of the Queensland product is also sporadic.

Thank you for your continued support,
