The precipitation of the past few days has brought some stability to the carrot market. The quotation for B-peen even takes a small step up. What does this come to now?
The carrot market is still calm and the mood is unchanged compared to the recent weeks. The market does feel somewhat friendlier, although traders are not yet talking about a stampede. The mood is slightly better due to the rainy weather, which means that many plots cannot be cleared. The offer is therefore slightly more limited. On the other hand, sales are still not improving. Only slightly more parties are requested from Belgium and Zeeland.
