Despite smaller stone fruit crops in South Africa, UK buyers are not expecting prices to move upwards when the pack is under way. "There's so much Greek product already in the system that no-one's going to make any more than current levels," said one. The South African apricot pack is likely to be smaller than normal. The crop is expected to have a large proportion of small fruit, following a dry spring. Prices are unlikely to be available before late December, if at all this year. {{PROVISIONS }}
