Comparative Analysis
Late 2024 (Start of Season 2024–2025)
The campaign opened at a very high level in November 2024 (10.90 €/kg), followed by a correction in December (7.86 €/kg). This reflects typical early-season tight supply conditions.
Early 2025 (Core Winter Period)
January and February 2025 show a sharp price collapse, with averages around 4 €/kg. Compared to December 2024, prices dropped by nearly 50%, indicating strong supply pressure and/or demand weakness during the peak winter window.
Late 2025 / Early 2026 (Season 2025–2026)
In contrast, the following season demonstrates a structurally higher and more stable price level:
- December 2025: 8.23 €/kg
- January 2026: 8.63 €/kg
- February 2026: 8.29 €/kg
Unlike the previous year, there is no price breakdown in January–February. The market remained on a high plateau around 8–8.6 €/kg.
Key Market Insight
- Season 2024–2025: High opening → rapid winter price collapse.
- Season 2025–2026: Stable high plateau through winter.
- January–February prices in 2026 are approximately double those of January–February 2025.
This may reflect tighter supply management, lower competitive pressure (Spain/Morocco), or stronger demand conditions during winter 2025–2026.
