Better than expected - at least with regard to Thai pineapples in June: at 91,725 tonnes, supply in the first weeks of the month was 16.5 percent above the original forecast, according to the Thai Food Processors Association (TFPA). The raw material price fell accordingly and averaged 10.90 Thai baht per kg. Towards the end of June, however, the supply fell so that some packers have now stopped production. Currently (as at 21 July 2025), the supply of raw materials is 2,000 tonnes per week (in comparison: in mid-May, it was around 3,000 tonnes per day) and the price of raw materials is 13.50 Thai baht per kg.

Now we have to wait and watch the rainy season to be able to make a forecast about the winter harvest. We expect the first reliable supply prices from Thailand at the end of August/beginning of September at the earliest.
