Mehdi Benchkroun, CEO from DMB & Co, said that fresh temperatures in Northern Morocco have delayed the maturation of red fruits, including blueberries, reports the fresh Plazza website.
” We see a delay in maturation of fruits such as blueberries. We expected to achieve considerable harvest volumes in January to February, and this is now being postponed in Mars “He said.
However, he dismissed the quality concerns and added that many manufacturers have selected Premium varieties to improve the Moroccan origin.
He also pointed out that the blueberry skillers are promising this season with Jumbo varieties that improve the preservation. Although Morocco is confronted with the price competition with Latin American blueberries, it benefits from a longer durability and enables quick deliveries to Europe. In addition, the arrival of large volumes will bring Moroccan exporters into competition with Spain and Portugal in March.
” Despite the delay in the highlight, the market is not so slow. Take the highway near Moulay Bousselhem or Larache and count the number of blueberry cars you will encounter. The market will continue to intensify until the end of the season in May “Said of the CEO by DMB & Co.
