The European market closed week 40 with a notable recovery in shipment flows, reaching 1,035 containers arriving on the continent. This figure represents a 23% increase compared to the previous week and is well above the levels observed in the same week last year, practically double the volume recorded during that period.

Peru remains the main supplier, although its share has decreased to 55% of the total. Chile follows, consolidating its presence with 20%, while Kenya and Tanzania together contribute 10%. Meanwhile, Colombia represents 9%, South Africa 6%, and Mexico around 1%.

One notable finding is the magnitude of the increase from Chile, as arrivals from that country quadrupled compared to the previous week, representing a nearly 300% increase and reaching over 200 containers. This surge is attributed to the start of their export season. Mexico, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa also showed moderate increases, while Peru and Colombia remained relatively stable.

The current volume is unusual for this time of year, as historically weekly arrivals were around 500 containers, which underlines the strong dynamics of the European market in 2025.

In terms of prices, larger sizes experienced a slight decrease of around 7%, while smaller sizes saw significant increases, even reaching higher prices per kilogram than larger sizes, especially in Rotterdam. This situation is narrowing the gap between European and US market prices, which are beginning to show similar levels.

In Spain, greater pressure was observed on larger calibers, particularly 12 and 14, which decreased by an average of 9%.
