However, wet and heavy soil conditions in parts of the country impeded fieldwork.
The price of the old-crop remains firm for good quality. In the UK, price increases of £20/t on some lines of old-crop washed whites were reported.
Reports from growers indicate that the majority of Premiere and Home Guard early crops are lifted in the southeast. Lifting of Queens continues this week. However, parts of the country have ground to a halt due to poor soil conditions.
Overall the 2019 crop is coming along well with no major issues reported. The recent wet conditions have caused difficult spraying routines for some growers.
The week ahead should allow this to continue as normal.
