The start of the season for the Dutch growers of green bell peppers was a bit disappointing with low prices, in some cases the Dutch bell peppers received lower prices than the Spanish peppers. Now that the bell pepper production in Almeria is about to end in two weeks, the Dutch growers will only have competition from Spanish growers in Murcia. Due to the cold wather in Murcia, this harvest is also delayed, which should result in better pricing for Dutch bell peppers.
The Israeli bell pepper growers suffered from bad weather which resulted in lower yields and quality.
All of these factors should result in stable pricing for colored Dutch bell peppers, due to low supplies and stable demand
