strawberry prices are high, R100 (5.8 euros) to R120 (6.9 euros) per kilogram, the season is still early and volumes are going to pick up a lot and prices will drop quickly, market agents say. With increasing local production, Egyptian imports were reduced this year.
Last year was an exceptional year for strawberries quality-wise and if rain stays away in the north, this year could be the same. The crop will be larger as a result of said expansion.
