"There have been changes in cultivation in the west of the country. This is slowly happening in the south as well. The good weather is the most important reason for the good market situation. I expect the market to be good for the next two or three weeks", says René. He sells his product via exporters and the retail sector in the Netherlands and England. "I have a good spread of permanent clients. It is going well. We know what we mean to each other."
"The lit cultivation season started well. Up to Easter, it was also going well with the unlit cultivation. After that, it took a bit of a dip. Spain was also on the market for quite a while. However, when we got a few warm days, the market started to pick up again. We saw this happening over these last few days again. Prices have never been as high as those of yesterday", he concluded.
