Strong start to the South African season
The new South African grape season is off to a promising start. The first Early Sweet grapes arrived this week and are showing a good berry size, good brix and a fresh appearance. Availability is comparable to last year, in a market with rapidly rising demand.
It is therefore positive that we have been able to secure additional volumes for this season, enabling us to better respond to market dynamics. Thanks to our broad purchasing base in South Africa, we can deliver stable supplies from week 51 to week 15.
Despite strong winds in the ports of Cape Town, the first containers arrived on time ahead of Christmas.
Rising demand for organic grapes in Europe
Although the availability of organic grapes from South Africa is comparable to last year, demand in Europe is rising by around 30%. As a result, shortages are expected on the European organic grape market during the overseas season. As a result, many customers have secured their programmes in good time.
The new season for organic Hicaz pomegranates from Turkey has got off to a promising start. Following last year’s limited harvest, expectations among our two regular producers, Göknur and Başak Tarım, are clearly more positive. Our Product Manager, Joep van Koevorden, recently visited both growers to assess the new harvest and discuss the prospects for the coming season.
From a vast organic orchard in Kozan to family land with centuries of history in Söke: behind our Turkish pomegranates lie two very different stories. Discover how Göknur and Başak Tarım each go about growing organic Hicaz pomegranates in their own way.
From warming teas and golden milk to fresh shots, smoothies and curries: ginger and turmeric are versatile ingredients that are perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
