Spanish 2022/23 Broccoli Campaign in Full Production With First Shipments to the Middle East

The 2022/23 Spanish broccoli campaign is in full production and recently started the export campaign with its first shipments to the Middle East. Due to heatwaves in Spain, full production started two weeks earlier than in 2021, which could lead to scarcity in the coming weeks. In W44, broccoli was priced at USD 1.42/kg EXW, a 7% increase YoY from USD 1.32/kg in 2021. However, this price increase was insufficient to offset the increase in production costs, resulting in a lower return for the producer than in the 2021/22 campaign.
