ORGANIC MARKET NEWS DECEMBER 11 - DECEMBER 18, 2020 DECEMBER ORGANIC COOKING VEG Organic Brussels Sprouts from Mexico Continue to See Excellent Supplies ORGANIC MARKET NEWS DECEMBER 11 - DECEMBER 18, 2020 DECEMBER ORGANIC COOKING VEG Organic Brussels Sprouts from Mexico continue to see excellent supplies. After a dip in production following Thanksgiving, harvests are beginning to gear back up. Look promotable pricing and excellent quality throughout December. Organic Green Beans from Florida are back in steady supply. If the weather holds, there could be promo opportunities closer to Christmas and New Year’s on the 25lb cases. In addition to the domestic crop, Covilli Organics has begun their Fair Trade program from Mexico on 15lb row pack Organic Green Beans. Excellent quality is expected. NOTE: Organic Asparagus prices will be rising this week as supplies from Mexico begin to finish up for the season. We will be offering 11lb and 28lb cases to stay in stock. Overall, supplies will stay very short and tight heading into the holidays as new areas won’t begin until mid to late January. Quality has been nice. Organic Broccoli saw an increase in production during early December when there was also low demand. Arizona and SoCal production is now more limited due to weather, causing product to have stunted growth, and with retail demand returning mid-month prices have gone back up. As Christmas approaches, expect to see steady supplies, but higher pricing that will remain elevated through mid-January. ALERT! Organic Cauliflowercontinues to be a struggle with availability in December and the outlook as Christmas approaches is bleak. Harvests are behind due to cool weather. Expect limited quantities and gaps in supplies as Christmas approaches. OUTLOOK: When weather starts to cooperate in Arizona and SoCal, Organic Cau- liflower supplies are expected to increase quickly (perhaps early January) as many growers are 2-4 weeks behind on their harvests and quality of product in the fields is holding up, they just need the product to size up.

  • In the Trenches: Increasing Apple Varieties a Merchandising Challenge
    - Advertisement - In the Trenches: Increasing apple varieties a merchandising challenge October 11, 2019 There’s a children’s book entitled, Apples Here, Apples There, Apples, Apples Everywhere. It covers facts about Johnny Appleseed, the apple life cycle, farming and harvesting. It also mentions several varieties such as Red Delicious, Granny Smith, Gala, Fuji, Pink Lady and Golden Delicious. I find it interesting that children in the first and second grade can learn about apple varieties so early. More interesting is the fact that from now until the time they grow up, advanced varieties will probably 1 / 3 still be in the development stages. Growers continue to develop proprietary apple varieties at an accelerating pace these days. It has developed into a trend and stalled the movement of some older varieties in the process. This current practice has exploded and is changing the entire apple retail scene. Koru, Envy, Opal, SugarBee, Rockit, Jazz, Kiku, Rave, Cripps Pink and Pazazz are only some of the new apple assortments to enter the picture. Other varieties are no doubt in the evolving stages. This is a huge investment for growers. Since produce department display space is becoming overcrowded, how are all the new apple varieties going to fit into the merchandising system? More importantly, how are the shoppers going to be persuaded to purchase them? They are already confused as to which apple to buy with the influx of several new choices in recent years. With all the newer apple varieties being introduced, I asked my friend Jay Schneider, produce director at Acme Markets in Malver, PA, how he addresses this issue.

  • Peak Season for Organic Apples
    ORGANIC MARKET NEWS OCTOBER 23 - OCTOBER 30, 2020 PEAK SEASON FOR ORGANIC APPLES Late October and November will be an outstanding time to promote a full com- plement of the standard Organic Apple varieties, along with some of the premium “managed” varieties. Quality and texture will be at its best during late fall. Washington growers are reporting that the crop has not come in quite as big as the initial estimate, but there will be plenty of Organic Apples to promote. A freeze is expected for late October in Washington, so growers are trying to pick ahead on their varieties, like Pink Lady. We are seeing consumers in some markets return to more normal sales in bulk dis- plays, still, demand for poly and pouch bag Organic Apples remains much higher than normal. Tip: It can be difficult to carry all of the managed varieties available, so stores that are limited on space should focus on 2 or 3 at a time and promote them for a month or 2 and move on to others. PREMIUM/MANAGED VARIETIES AVAILABLE FOR NOVEMBER PROMOTION: • OG Ambrosia • OG Jazz • OG Opal • OG Smitten • OG Autumn Glory • OG Kanzi • OG Pinata • OG SugarBee • OG Envy • OG Lady Alice • OG Rosalynn • OG SweeTango HEIRLOOM ORCHARDS AVAILABLE FOR THE END OF OCTOBER: • OG Arkansas Black • OG Golden Russet OG FALL FRUIT OG BROCCOLI & CAULIFLOWER OG BERRIES Organic Cranberries out of British Columbia are Organic Cauliflower from California is seeing Driscoll’s Organic Blueberries are available in lim- in peak season and selling very well to start.
