This week’s AMT Fresh Produce Market Report by Dr Johann van der Merwe, Director of AMT.
“Schools are back 📚, wallets were tight last week 💸 and fresh produce prices took a knock – but that’s only part of the story. Behind the scenes, rain, heat and quality challenges are quietly reshaping vegetable and fruit markets. What happens over the next two weeks could significantly change the picture. 📉 Potato prices have come under pressure – but could 2026 somehow be the year of the potato?”
