Cabbage
The end of August saw some significant price recoveries for average cabbage prices month-on-month; however, this could be short-lived as the market historically experiences an increase in volumes supplied into September.
Carrots
Carrot consumer demand has been under pressure between July and August, monthly average prices and volumes both followed a declining trend. However, analysts expect slight recoveries in prices as September commences.
Onions
Market trends suggest that average onion prices are still under pressure due to higher volumes supplied to markets. Analysts anticipate this trend to persist for September with some scope for prices to recover in October.
Potatoes
Despite uncertainties with the volumes supplied following the black frost event, average volumes have been noted to increase. This is due to some producers in Limpopo deciding to harvest earlier to salvage part of their yield.
Tomato
Tomato supplies have remained stable over the past month, helping to even out average prices. We anticipate a price recovery in September, supported by an expected increase in market volumes.
