Chilean orange suppliers are anticipating better marketing conditions in the US in the months ahead, as children return to school after the summer holidays.
Stock movement and prices are also expected to continue rebounding as a result of the California orange season coming to an end, according to Chilean market intelligence system SimFRUIT.
California offer fell significantly on the West Coast during week 31, SimFRUIT said, boosting interest in Australian navel oranges.
During the same week, Chilean orange arrivals rose by 48 per cent, which SimFRUIT suggests will go towards maintaining the increase in Chilean volume this season which is already double last year’s figure.
Although Chilean imports are expected to decrease in week 32 SimFRUIT said the reduction will be light, with the West Coast absorbing the majority of arrivals (65 per cent).
