As expected, the banana price decreased again to R6.85 per kilogram or R123 per 18kg box with volumes increasing by 13% week on week. We are however expecting prices to stay on a lower level during July and possibly gain some momentum from August onwards.

The latest apple price increased to R8.54 last week while the latest pear price traded higher on R10.02 per kilogram. I think that Apple prices can trend mostly sideways over the short term and then start trending upward from August while pears can remain in its upward trend for now.

The Orange price increased to R4.94 the past week and can possibly get some support over the next week or so, but the real upward momentum will only start from September onwards.

The Avo price decreased by 5% to R14.17 per kilogram last week while Fuertes traded lower on R17.79, Hass on R10.33 while Pinkertons increased to R14.22. We are expecting more volumes at least until September, which could keep prices around current levels. From October onwards however, prices might start to increase again.

The average table grape price increased to R84.62 with volumes decreasing by about 22% week on week. During July it is likely that this price can stay on this higher level. The latest pineapple also decreased to R7.57, lemons increased to R4.41 while the average Blueberry price traded on R229 per kilogram.
