The market may be slow, but the story this week is anything but boring 👀
While overall trading stayed soft, one thing really stood out. Lemon supply remained tight, Egyptian quality was underwhelming, and buyers are now watching closely for arrivals from China and South Africa. At the same time, a diverted container of Vietnam lime landed in Singapore at around SGD6 per carton. That is the kind of price gap that makes the market sit up and pay attention. 🍋
It is a good reminder that in fresh produce, the market can feel quiet on the surface, but underneath, supply shifts, quality issues, and surprise arrivals can change the mood very quickly.
