The supply of bell peppers this season is very up and down. This is the view of Wouter Willems. He is the sales manager of the Dutch cooperative ZON. Why? Cold and humid spring.

"We have had a high yield for a few weeks, while others have very little. In the south of the Netherlands, we have just walked out of the trough. In the past ten days, we have received very few green peppers. But since the weekend, "all colors The supply is pouring in again. We are entering the fourth environment, and once again get a large supply. "

"Sales are pretty good. Although the prices in June were too low. Last year, the prices were of course very good, but they are not good at the moment. Red bell peppers are priced at about 1.10 euros, yellow ones are priced at 1 euro and orange ones , The price is about 1.20 euros. Only green peppers do better. Their clock prices are about 2 euros," Wouter said.

"This season, it's usually difficult to sell everything. It was within a few weeks of good production. Fortunately, promotions are already planned. For example, supermarkets in Germany and the UK are very involved. However, store sales The price is quite high. Last week, in Germany, retailers even sold Dutch bell peppers for 7 euros."

"However, the blockade is gradually being lifted and the weather is also stabilizing. Therefore, I think sales will also stabilize in the next few weeks. Our wholesale market customers are increasing. Last year, they were still cautious about increasing inventory. Fortunately. The thing is, our products are of high quality. Therefore, we hardly have any complaints about it," Wouter concluded.
