Reports indicate that exports of Cyprus winter crop have now ceased following very wet weather. Some growers there are stating that it is the heaviest rain they have seen in their lifetimes. Crop which will be lifted from now on will be used on the home market or exported to Greece.
In the UK, overall demand appears to have quietened over the past week. Chipping markets in particular have seen below-average demand, as retail sales in chip shops and restaurants see seasonal declines for the new year. Continued reports of quality issues persist in recently-lifted material.
