"Exotic fruit demand not as high as previous years, Physalis is this year's best seller"
According to Patrick Stoffels of Stoffels Foods, the demand for exotic fruits is not as good as last year. "That may be partly due to the prices and year-round availability. Passion fruit, for instance, is no longer as special at Christmas; you can buy it all year round. Physalis is this year's clear best-seller. It has minimal availability with inconsistent high quality," he says.
