Production this past weekend was reported light, as producers were uncertain that product was capable of being shipped into the US market. A holiday in Chile has also ceased production for today and tomorrow. Some product is arriving into Miami but in limited quantities since there remains a restriction on shipping cargo with passengers. This on top of already limited freight capacity out of South America. Some sellers report an inability to fulfill commitments with Chilean product and some look to North American product to supplement needs.
Product currently moves fairly well at quoted levels.
Demand for product is unclear the as market strength is currently being driven by the lack of supply. The outlook is unsettled as expected improvements in air shipments may help to improve supply and put pressure on current market levels. Dealers discount in an effort to stimulate interest. Sales improved marginally. Fresh domestic production continues light as a result of poor weather in parts of the Gulf region.
