What’s Looking Good
Broccoli & Broccolini: Supply has surged and prices are finally on the way down. Excellent value heading into the back half of July.
Cabbage & Cauliflower: Plenty of supply in the market. Both are holding their own well through winter.
Mandarins: The citrus hero of the season — juicy, sweet and well-priced. A great option for menus or retail displays.
Tomatoes: Still higher than usual but trending in the right direction. Quality is much improved from last month.
Celery: Strong across the board — great quality and pricing make it a reliable staple right now.
Leeks & Mushrooms: Supply and pricing are stabilising for both, with mushrooms in particular offering good value.
Green Beans: Excellent quality and well-priced. Supply is back up and holding.
Herbs: All lines are performing well for this time of year. Bunch sizes are a little weather-dependent, but overall quality is solid.
Capsicum (Red & Green): Prices have eased and quality is good — a welcome change from recent highs.
What’s in short supply
Avocados: Supply has tightened again. Prices are slightly higher, but the fruit coming through is top quality.
Chillies: Still expensive and quality is hit-and-miss.
Asparagus: Short supply but prices remain steady. Expect tight availability to continue.
Pineapples: Supply is tight across the board.
Endive & Sorrel Bunch: Inconsistent supply — and when it’s off, it’s really off.
Bananas: Supply has firmed up, which may mean a slight lift in pricing.
Onions: Early-season rain in key growing regions is still impacting quality and availability.
