The Produce Wholesaler- Wholesale
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Fresh Produce Update Thursday 2nd November 2017

Of Interest:  Fruit – Mango season is in full swing with the quality and supply exceptional.  Stonefruit is also at the market but it is still early season and not the sweetest.  Apricots, Cherries and Plums will start next week and the peaches and nectarines will be better again.  Berries are still weather affected but improving.  We should have full supply of Australian Grapes in a few weeks.  Vegetables – There is not much change in the market on the veggie front, still a lack of supply and the quality is only average.  There should be a slight relief when Stanthorpe starts in a few weeks.
