Market dynamics – European market, week 35 (August 2013) Demand is low due to the summer holidays and the general economic trend; sales are favourable for few items, mostly for local season products such as nectarines and apricots in particular. The marketing season for stone fruits is satisfactory, with prices better than last year even though lower than in July as the campaign has fully developed. Schools have started only in some parts of Europe so that a return to full market activity is expected in the coming weeks. Avocado Although arrivals of Hass have remained quite high compared to the average, the European market is showing a good balance. Prices have been stable and firm in particular in the Northern markets. Prices of green varieties are higher than the prices of Hass and above the average (decreasing season for South Africa). With Chile entering the market in week 37 the supply pressure is expected to increase. Figs The season of figs from Turkey is fully developing, with large price variability depending on sizes. Ginger Prices continues high and are expected to increase further. Mango The market is calm with prices just on average since some weeks. Israel entered the market with sea-freighted volumes and production is said to be 30-40% lower on last season. Spain will soon enter the market with normal volumes or, possibly, up on last season. Demand should starting kicking in September when the summer fruit supplies get lower; weather conditions could also create more demand if the temperatures drop in Europe. Supply is expected to increase. Pommegranate The season for Egypt and Israel started about four weeks earlier in comparison to last year. Pineapple Very high prices for sizes 5-6’, exceeding 11,00 Euro/ctn, with large price range depending on the market considered; very low prices for small sizes, sometimes sold below 4,00-5,00 Euro/ctn or just in consignment. Prices for top brands are expected to reach 15,00 Euro/ctn in week 36. Limes Very high prices for limes from both Brazil and Mexico (12,00-13,00 Euro/ctn) with prices differing considerably depending on the market considered; demand is expected to decrease with the end of the summer season. Lychees The season from Israel is coming to an end, some batches from China. Melons - The first Brazilian yellow melons were unloaded despite there is still a good supply of yellow melons from Spain. Galia, Cantaloupe and water melons from Brazil are expected in week 36/37. The first forecasts on deciduous fruit indicate that production should increase about (+7%) for apples and (+18%) for pears. As the season is about one month late because of the weather, stocks of the Southern Hemisphere fruits should be fully cleared by then. September looks difficult, in part because demand usually delays in re-taking shape after summer and also because the season for local products will stick for at least another 3-4 weeks until all stocks of local season fruits will be cleared.

Market dynamics – European market, week 35 (August 2013)

Demand is low due to the summer holidays and the general economic trend; sales are favourable for few items, mostly for local season products such as nectarines and apricots in particular. The marketing season for stone fruits is satisfactory, with prices better than last year even though lower than in July as the campaign has fully developed. Schools have started only in some parts of Europe so that a return to full market activity is expected in the coming weeks. Avocado – Although arrivals of Hass have remained quite high compared to the average, the European market is showing a good balance. Prices have been stable and firm in particular in the Northern markets. Prices of green varieties are higher than the prices of Hass and above the average (decreasing season for South Africa). With Chile entering the market in week 37 the supply pressure is expected to increase. Figs – The season of figs from Turkey is fully developing, with large price variability depending on sizes. Ginger – Prices continues high and are expected to increase further. Mango – The market is calm with prices just on average since some weeks. Israel entered the market with sea-freighted volumes and production is said to be 30-40% lower on last season. Spain will soon enter the market with normal volumes or, possibly, up on last season. Demand should starting kicking in September when the summer fruit supplies get lower; weather conditions could also create more demand if the temperatures drop in Europe. Supply is expected to increase. Pommegranate – The season for Egypt and Israel started about four weeks earlier in comparison to last year.

Pineapple – Very high prices for sizes 5-6’, exceeding 11,00 Euro/ctn, with large price range depending on the market considered; very low prices for small sizes, sometimes sold below 4,00-5,00 Euro/ctn or just in consignment. Prices for top brands are expected to reach 15,00 Euro/ctn in week 36. Limes – Very high prices for limes from both Brazil and Mexico (12,00-13,00 Euro/ctn) with prices differing considerably depending on the market considered; demand is expected to decrease with the end of the summer season. Lychees – The season from Israel is coming to an end, some batches from China. Melons - The first Brazilian yellow melons were

unloaded despite there is still a good supply of

yellow melons from Spain. Galia, Cantaloupe

and water melons from Brazil are expected in

week 36/37.

The first forecasts on deciduous fruit indicate that production should increase about (+7%) for apples and (+18%) for pears. As the season is about one month late because of the weather, stocks of the Southern Hemisphere fruits should be fully cleared by then. September looks difficult, in part because demand usually delays in re-taking shape after summer and also because the season for local products will stick for at least another 3-4 weeks until all stocks of local season fruits will be cleared.

De-commoditization: Food for thought

The global population is set to reach nine billion people by 2050; nearly all of this population growth will

occur in developing countries and demand for food products is expected to rise by 40% by 2030. The

international community will need to fulfil this increasing food demand not only because it is fair but also

because it is economically convenient and would help in avoiding major social unrest.

The increasing development gap and the recent economic crisis, the end of which is thought to be near

(though nobody knows when and with what implications for less favoured countries), urges the need to

identify solutions that will allow to distinguish food, particularly agricultural products, as top-priority items

in the coming years.

The development sector has largely debated how to use agriculture in developing countries for

development; though the issue might appear simple it is in reality very complex because it involves not

only national policies, different production systems and different market structures but also the history of

each particular production context and its own approach to rural development and related constraints.

Consider, as examples, the long disputes between big tenants and small-holder producers in the

Southern Hemisphere or the different opinions on development in evolved, profit and service–oriented

markets, and developing countries, where market and food-security inevitably run on a same path.

As primarily mentioned at the Produce Marketing Association (PMA) in the October 2011 summit de-

commoditization could be the key word. “I dislike the word ‘commodity’ almost as much as I dislike the

title ‘VP of Perishables’ for fruits said the president of PMA. “Why have we accepted the commodity fate

that was handed to us without question? A commodity classification says we are not unique, we have no

story” he continued.

De-commoditization means presenting fresh products not just as a commodity with no measureable

differences between one and the other, but as a special, unique item that is strongly linked to top-priority

issues such as sustainability and subsistence. In developing countries millions of people depend on the

prioritization of food items for their lives and for food security. In developed markets the de-

commoditization may permit not only to promote fresh products but also to avoid the vulgarization of the

market particularly putting in evidence product characteristics, origin and history; traditions and nutritional

values, and avoiding price standardization. In the words of the President of PMA: “is our focus on price

influencing consumer’s perception of value? Are we creating a low price future when many consumers

want something more than this?”

De-commoditization would be all about product valorisation, health and safety, sustainable production

systems and markets and eco-sustainability. I think that the high-tech world we are living in today may

offer perspectives for the de-commoditization and the promotion of fresh food products; considering that

the consumption of fruits in evolved countries is as low as 250 gr. (1 fruit) per day per person and that

de-commoditization is now being done even with with music (yes, music) why not attempt to do the same

with food. Food for thought? Or should we say thoughts for food!”
