The most recent export figures are at the tail end of the 2019 growing season. These figures show that week 25 is good for an export of 6.986 tons. This brings the season total to 1.173.141 tonnes.
The export figures for week 25 are the 51st export figures published from the 2019 growing season. The growing season has now been going on for almost a calendar year. Because the 2018 growing season ended empty, exports started earlier than normal this season. On average, 23.002 tons were exported per week.
Unparalleled
Great Britain is the only customer in week 35 with a purchase of more than 1.000 tons. Our western neighbors are good for purchasing 1.016 tons. Of all export weeks, only in week 51 (Christmas week) did exports exceed 1.000 tons. No export destination imitates the British.
The second buyer of week 35 is the African country Guinea, which accounts for a purchase of 843 tons. The third buyer is a destination that does not often appear at the top of the export lists. Sweden closes the top three with 833 tons.
