|  | Blueberries Polish and Dutchblueberries are nearing the end of the season and are showing some softness. Fortunately, volumes from Argentina are beginning to build and the fruit quality is much better. |
|  | Red grapes Due to the very hot weather in Spain, we are seeing some stem dehydration on red and black grapes. Colour is becoming an issue, as the fruit is not receiving sufficient differential between day and night temperatures. Brazilian fruit is not far away. |
