Floods and Cyclone damage are still affecting some lines of produce. There is a shortage of Tomatoes Australia Wide, hence high prices. There is not much relief in site for a few more weeks unfortunately.
Mandarins are in full swing now, they are starting to sweeten up. We have stock of new season Navels but it will still be at least 2 more weeks until we see the quality and taste improve. We are in between Avocado varieties, Shepards are almost finished, there is some Hass in the markets but they are not fully mature as yet.
