US: Table grape market report week 4

Grape Update:
Through Week 4, table grape arrivals on the East Coast continue to lag behind last season by 15% (over all varieties) which has made for a stable market characterized by solid pricing, light inventory and limited carryover from vessel to vessel (except, of course, the small caliber Flames). Product quality has been adequate, but not extraordinary: Flame sizing has been small forcing sellers to be creative in filling their orders for large fruit.
