Cucumber:
Only summer crop but very pale as they grew under up to 40 degrees. New crop is expected for week 42.

Capsicum: Steady demand of California peppers. The prices are low on green , higher on red and the yellow is expensive. Cherry tomatoes: Very few quantities this week and the coming 1-2 weeks. The weather is not favourable. Its cold and raining and new crop will probably be delayed. From the late summer crop there can still be offered few quantities of trimix 10x300 g during the next 3 weeks..
