Tridge summary

The article provides an overview of the agricultural market in Germany, focusing on the availability and pricing of various produce including asparagus, apples, pears, grapes, strawberries, lemons, bananas, cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, and bell peppers. It highlights the dominance of German asparagus deliveries, with contributions from the Netherlands, Poland, Greece, and Spain. The availability of green asparagus has increased, leading to a surge in stocks and a decrease in prices, unless demand spikes, as seen on Mother's Day. For fruits, there's a mixed picture with South African pears, Spanish lemons, and increased interest due to rainy weather. However, demand has not kept up with the strong supply, resulting in price drops for cauliflower and lettuce. Dutch and Belgian tenders are increasingly present for tomatoes and bell peppers, while regional fruits are becoming more important.
