The Spanish offers dominated the scene. They played a particularly important role in Berlin. There, fruit larger than 32 mm cost about 8 euros per kg. In Hamburg and Cologne, their presence had significantly expanded, and for this reason, they were cheaper.

In Frankfurt, their quality was not entirely convincing, which is why customers increasingly turned to Turkish imports. In Munich, they arrived in greater numbers, which is why prices slightly decreased, and they were appreciated by buyers despite the relatively high evaluations.

In Berlin, Napoleone and Sahili were largely tied to the retail trade of food. The Greek and Italian deliveries complemented the scene, but sometimes left something to be desired in terms of quality. The national lots were scarcely available and slightly more expensive. In general, availability was rather limited.
However, demand was generally met. Smaller products were often ignored by customers, while larger items were more sought after. Prices fluctuated often, but overall tended downward rather than upward.
