Global ratings for snake cucumbers jumped significantly in some cases

Dutch, Belgian, and domestic cucumbers apparently lost importance as their season entered the home straight. In some cases, they had already been withdrawn from the market. Spanish shipments filled the gap in supply but were unable to plug the hole completely, according to the BLE. Valuations therefore jumped upwards, in some cases very significantly. In Frankfurt, they rose very sharply for Spanish offers, and Munich also reported price increases of up to 100% over the course of the week. In some cases, prices climbed several times a day. In Hamburg, traders reacted to the increased incoming demands and simply made fewer orders, as customers were very reluctant to buy at prices of up to €16 per box of 12. Prices for mini cucumbers from Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands also rose, although nowhere near as much as for snake cucumbers. Click here to go directly to the full market and price report.
