Spanish pepper dominates the market
Spanish pepper deliveries dominate the market. Business was quite varied: In Berlin, availability expanded enormously and valuations then dropped to as low as €5,- per 5 kg-carton. In Frankfurt, the same unit cost between €8,- and 10,50, but there were also offers of €6,50 per 5 kg on some days. In Hamburg and Munich, prices increased, but this did not dampen demand. In Cologne, a wide price range was established.
Turkish unloadings completed the marketing, but were completely absent in Cologne. Their presence was limited, in some cases very definitely. The resulting increase in demand was passed on to the customers by the distributors. Moroccan imports only appeared in Frankfurt, where one had to pay €8,- to 9,- per 5 kg-carton for the red and green products.
