Germany: Turkish peaches almost displaced Spanish fruit from the top spot

The availability of peaches and nectarines has decreased, with Turkish products displacing Spanish ones in the top spot. In the nectarine segment, there were more Spanish parties than Italian ones. Fruit from France and Greece were also available. The market for apples saw the presence of Jonagold and Elstar increasing, while early apples became less important. German fruit dominated the pear market, with a wide range of varieties available. Turkish Sultana grapes dominated the market, but prices dropped due to high supply. German plums were plentiful, with several top varieties available. South African lemons were the only ones available, as Spanish citrus was scarce. The banana market faced muted demand, resulting in sellers maintaining their prices by adjusting supply. Domestic cauliflower offers were dominant, with Belgian, Polish, and Dutch parties supplementing the trade. German lettuce dominated over Belgian imports, with higher prices for the latter. Domestic and Dutch cucumbers formed the basis of the range, with Spanish cucumbers gaining a foothold in Berlin. Dutch and Belgian tomatoes were predominant, with local and Moroccan goods also available. Dutch and Polish imports dominated the pepper market, with Turkish and Spanish vegetables also present.
