the company said it had a strong sales season overall for organic chicory
which is probably also partly due to inflation and consumer reluctance to buy
we then pushed roots ahead of us in the forcing department
which in turn led to a shortage of goods at the end of February
so that we are currently observing extremely stable sales," says Fabian Borgwald
buyer and seller at the organic wholesaler Engemann
one can fall back on an abundant root harvest
we have not had to source any roots elsewhere so far
Due to the good climatic conditions during cultivation
the roots could be harvested and stored in good condition overall
This is ultimately noticeable in the pleasing harvest and the qualities in the forcing department
which may be due to the fact that imported lettuce has been scarce and expensive
we stop the forcing around mid-April: This year
due to the good root harvest and continued high demand
we will be able to market regional chicory two months longer
With a costly product like chicory in particular
the ubiquitous cost increases are making themselves felt
but also logistics and cold storage costs are putting significant pressure on our business
we were able to negotiate a price adjustment in December
which is why we are now about 20 percent above last year's level." To what extent the increase in inflation will affect organic sales in the process is difficult to grasp
"We continue to assume that classic organic customers will still buy from specialty retailers."
sales of organic chicory have remained relatively stable
"The clientele continues to remain stable and consumption trends are rather less observable
organic chicory is still predominantly offered in bulk
We have merely switched from 4-kg to 2-kg boxes: Although this involves a little more effort for us as a supplier
which is why there are fewer markdowns on the bottom line."
