Reference prices week 5, 2022-23

The second most important is Cautín, with around 217 equivalent containers. These two are also close to 80% of the total volume.

During week 5, the change in the dynamics of the season continued to be strongly noticeable, with
slow movement, given the drop in demand. Partly because what is seen most in the market is Regina, around 70% of the total varieties present, and which is showing, to a greater or lesser degree, quality observations for the late part. The main thing is the presence of internal browning and change in flavor.

This makes buyers very cautious when buying and has been seen in the
demand. We can also see how cherries are gradually losing their importance in retail, such as supermarkets and fruit shops.

For the next few weeks, very little volume is expected to arrive, less than 200
containers during week 6, and similar or less for week 7.

An important fact, however, is that, based on the calculations of our team of correspondents in China and in conversations with importers and wholesalers, there was a stock of approximately 900 containers from week 5 for week 6.

As for reference prices during week 5, they have fallen, but not significantly, considering that they are facing the lowest prices.
