Researchers at Cepea claim that the rainfall recorded this month have livened up the Orange shortage scenario in the State of São Paulo in Brazil. Even if so, some producers have already harvested pears new, in order to meet the low volume available fruit and enjoy steady prices. However, as contributors to the Cepea, the demand is still low, as buyers avoid purchasing oranges at high prices-choosing, in some cases, the fruits with lower quality.
This week (Monday-Thursday), PEAR averaged $32,67/40.8 kg cx, in the tree, virtually stable (-0.7%) compared to last week. The precipitations have also been positive to the development of acid lime tahiti. In this scenario, the offer of variety is already rising in the State of São Paulo, but only for fruit girls. As producers, a greater volume of tahiti requests must reach the São Paulo market in the first half of November. Last week, the variety averaged $69,92/cx of 27 kg, harvested, fall of 8.6% over the previous period.
