During the last two weeks, the few packers who are producing, have paid the raw material to 0.48€ per kilo. Cheaper because raw material has damages, due to last very cold weather.
We are currently in the middle of the satsuma mandarin orange season and it is turning out to be a difficult season, for the following reasons:
The mandarin orange harvest has fallen by 20% compared to last year.
The raw material price, for satsumas coming straight off the tree, is €0.33, and seconds are priced at €0.15.
The raw material prices for clementines are €0.25 and €0.10.
The high demand and limited variety of active producers.
The 24/11 oz box sale price is around €13/box.
