OVERVIEW GLOBAL AVOCADO MARKET April marks a transition in the supply of avocados. After Chile stops exporting, there is a gap in the market. South Africa and Peru are still unready to meet the huge demand, and this, in combination with the bad weather in Peru, has delayed the supply and made it difficult to find sufficient volumes; therefore, skyrocketing prices have been recorded worldwide. An importer submitted the following list of seasons and the gaps in the market: Spain, Morocco and Israel: The Hass season end in week 13-14. Kenya: Fruit ready to be ripened is available from half April. South Africa: First shipments of Maluma in week 14, and of Hass on week 15. Peru: Due to the current climatic disaster, various production areas have been affected and the first harvest has been delayed. Colombia: Preparations are underway for their second harvest season, which will become available from week 14. Again, three weeks late. Chile: Last shipments are only just arriving. Mexico: 30% lower production; they are the main supplier of the US and due to the shortage the fruit remains largely in the domestic market. US: They get high prices in the local market, so no exports to Europe. Brazil: Harvest starting in late March, but the country remains a small supplier. ... ... hTTp://www.freshplaza.com/article/173237/OVERVIEW-GLOBAL-AVOCADO-MARKET

Kenyan avocados running a month late .... .... The Kenyan avocado season is running around a month behind, due to the drought conditions. The fruit is also smaller. However rain is predicted this week in the growing regions and Anton is counting on this to improve the sizes. "Rain is on the way, in fact it has already started raining in the western side of the avocado growing areas," explains Anton. "Once it rains in the central region the avocados will grow one size up every 7 days." .... .... http://tinyurl.com/hl29cxz

Yes gradually returning to its origins as a pure tea gardens play. It appears this deal leaves them with well over £100m in net cash. With Camellia Private Trust owning 52% and Alcatel Pension Fund 12%, that £100m is enough to buy out all the other shareholders around the current £10 level. There appears little purpose in it being listed. Alternatively Goodricke has been making noises about acquiring more tea gardens, so perhaps the £100m becomes funding for that. Gb

More on almonds Reinvigorated almond crop expected in California A colder, wetter winter is one of the reasons California's almond growers are expecting a large crop this season.

Bump in California almond forecast The latest almond crop forecast for California has this year's almond production up over last year's production by almost eight percent. The objective measurement report, which was released on Wednesday, has this year's crop bigger than what was estimated in the subjective report released in May. According to a survey conducted by the USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service, California's 2016 almond production is forecast at 2.05 billion meat pounds – that would make it 7.9 percent larger than last year's crop. The objective reported noted good bloom conditions, and the bloom period was characterized as fast and uniform. Compared to the previous season's winter, this most recent winter was better for the almond crop in terms of chill hours and precipitation. Though many areas are still suffering from lingering water shortages, trees have been recovering from drought conditions.

Ate Kalsbeek, Halls: “Avocado volume smaller, demand larger than last year again” The avocado market remains sky-high. “We are out of green avocados, and there is a shortage. They cannot touch the ground, and we can only barely fulfil our programmes. Prices are increasing to 13 euros for green avocados, and the market for Hass avocados is also good,” says Ate Kalsbeek of Dutch sales office Halls. He also predicts a good market for the coming weeks. “Total volumes are not larger than last year, and consumption has been growing faster than production for a number of years already, which explains the tight market to a large extent.” “Especially demand for ready-to-eat show an increase, because we are purely focusing on constantly delivering quality. We will not make concessions to this. We will receive avocados from South Africa until the beginning of October. Furthermore, we have supply from Peru, but that is not excessively high. The first arrivals from Tanzania and Kenya are on their way. Until November we expect weekly arrivals from our Kenyan partner Kakuzi, the largest cultivator in all of Africa who supplies constant quality.” For more information: Ate Kalsbeek Halls www.hallsbv.nl
