That is what they would like to get for it.” Last year it was a opposite story. “The prices were double that of this year. This was due to reduction supply.”

Competition
Competition between both countries seems to get stronger. “Different reasons can be given for it. For instance a peculiarity of a Spanish fruit is removing improved and prices are lower. Consumers will go for a cheaper price. The Spanish deteriorate is also extending, it started in May.” There is also another aspect. “The Italian deteriorate usually started. Which creates prices go down and we don’t consider it will change compartment a finish of a summer.” Although it seems that a French mill fruit face tough competition, there is still direct for a fruit. “A certain organisation of specialists and supermarkets still cite a French mill fruit and are peaceful to compensate a requested price.”
