MARKET UPDATE

Apples – Price vs Popularity
Pink Lady apples are still the most popular but also the most expensive.

We get it… kids love them. But why not try something different for yourself?

Golden Delicious = cheaper, full of flavour, softer European style. Not popular with shops (yellow doesn’t “pop”)… but that’s your win.

Pears – New Season Varieties
Corella pears are in this week.
Can eat crunchy
Even better when ripened
Store for ages

🍍 Tropical Fruits – Mixed Bag
Good value: bananas, papaya, passionfruit (~90c)
Avoid for now:
Pineapple
Melons (scarce for 3–4 weeks)
Watermelon hitting ~$4/kg in shops

Berries & Citrus
Berries still decent (blueberries improving), but not as cheap as last week

Citrus is the star right now:
✔ Grapefruit, lemons, limes
✔ Mandarins (~$5/kg, dropping by May)

Veg Watch – What’s Hot
✔ Avocados (Shepard & Hass) – great value
✔ Beans & corn – super cheap
✔ Xerri’s broccoli – improving + less than HALF price
✔ Lettuce, capsicum, cucumber, eggplant, zucchini – all cheap
✔ Leeks, pumpkin, fennel, brown onions – good buying

Veg to Avoid as prices high
Beetroot (all types)
Red onions
Rhubarb
(Seems reds are having a moment… not a good one)

Leafy Greens are Back
Great value again: Silverbeet, spinach, radish, coriander, parsley

Tomatoes are Good News
Snacking tomatoes still strong
Field & Roma tomatoes starting to come down in price

⛽ Fuel Watch
Too early to call — we’re taking it week by week. But… so far, so good.

W2616 Market Update
Autumn is settling in, and the market is shifting… here’s what’s worth popping in your box (and what’s not ).

Apples & Pears: More Choice, Better Value
Apple season is opening up nicely. Kanzi apples are stepping in as a great-value alternative to Pink Lady, while Fuji, Royal Gala and Granny Smith are all improving in supply.
Pears are also having a moment with Red Sienna Pride is nearly done, but fragrant Josephines have arrived. And next week, we swap Williams out for Packhams.

Berries: A Bit of a Rollercoaster
After last week’s strawberry price shock (yep… double 😬), we’re cautiously optimistic. Prices should come down… but we’ll believe it when we see it.
Good news though: blackberries are looking great and raspberries are an absolute steal at around $3

Grapes: Pricier but Worth It
Supply is tightening, but the eating quality? Possibly the best we’ve seen. Sometimes you just pay for the good stuff.

Citrus: The Comeback Kid
Queensland citrus is ramping up, which means cheaper lemons, ruby grapefruit and Imperial mandarins (under $5/kg ).
Kiwi fruit is colourful green, gold and red — but still on the pricey side.

Melons: Not Their Time (Yet)
Give melons a miss for now. We’ll revisit once Queensland supply improves and prices drop.

Avocados: Bargain Alert
Shepards are still under $1 and now joined by late-season Hass from WA at $1.48.
Prefer that nutty Hass flavour? Worth the upgrade. Either way the April avo prices like this are rare.

Local Heroes
Manuel Xerri is keeping the corn coming (even while supplying the Royal Easter Show!).
Plus: whole broccoli from the Xerri family — leaves, stems, the lot — bigger, more nutritious, and now half the price by weight

One Week Wonders & New Greens
George Portelli is bringing:
• Small red cabbages for $2.40
• Baby bok choy (buk choi) fresh, tender and around $2 a bunch
Hello, easy stir-fries

Veg Watch
J*P pumpkins = great value
Tomatoes = still pricey ❌ (hang tight for Queensland supply in about a month)
BUT… yellow and black cherry tomatoes are looking good at around $3.50

Something Different
Chestnuts are back — perfect for roasting (check Marketplace for how-to )
And feeling adventurous? Try fresh olives! Cure them yourself and is so easy, no fancy gear, just a bit of patience.

In short:
Shop smart, follow the seasons, and let the market guide your box this week.

Keep your top on

Why? Because pineapple tops aren’t just for show when they’re your ticket to growing your own pineapple plant at home. Simply twist off, let it dry a bit, then plant. With some sun and patience, you could be growing your own tropical goodness.

And the fruit? Perfect for:
Tenderising meat – just a quick rub or marinade. Be careful: too long and it’ll break down the meat too much!
Smoothies, fruit salads, or tropical drinks
Baking, roasting, or even on the BBQ

Box Divvy pineapples with tops on are fresh, juicy, and ready to inspire your green thumb and your taste buds. Why settle for plain when you can grow, cook, and enjoy?

29/03/2026

International Soup Day is coming up on Sunday 5 April, Easter Sunday, the perfect excuse to lean into a big, cosy bowl of goodness. If you want a head start, grab one of Lolli’s flavour-packed bases. Purchase this week for Sunday.

Think Italian Garden, Mulligatawny, Split Pea, Tex Mex Chilli or Thai Curry and then make it your own with a heap of fresh veg.

Toss in green beans, Brussels sprouts, or whatever’s looking good this week, and suddenly you’ve got a soup that’s not just easy, but actually feels a bit chef-y.

Low effort, high comfort, and a very solid way to sneak more veggies onto the menu.

Where’s the passion?

Box Divvy: $1.25 each
Coles: $1.80 each

That’s right… the passion is right here at Box Divvy

Ideas for your passionfruit:
Stir into smoothies or cocktails
Top your ice cream or yoghurt
Add zing to salads or dressings
Bake it into cakes or tarts

Fresh, tangy, and way easier on the wallet. Grab ‘em while they last.

29/03/2026

Green beans
Box Divvy: $4.90/kg
Coles: $7.50/kg

We think we’ve been bean-beanned… seriously, why pay more?
Quick tip: Sauté in butter for a couple of minutes, splash in some chicken stock, and cook another 2–3 mins until just tender. Perfect every time.

What’s In Season?

Alright the markets have spoken… and this week it’s basically a tropical holiday in your fruit bowl.

Tropical Stars
Papaya, pineapple and passionfruit are absolutely bringing it this week both sweet, juicy and seriously good value.
And bananas? Still the hero of the basket at $3.25/kg
Meanwhile supermarkets are flirting with between $3.90 to $4.50/kg… awkward.

New Season Apples & Berry Swap
Say hello to NEW season Kanzi apples from Queensland at $6.86/kg and yep, cheaper than Pink Ladies.

Blueberries have clocked off (scarce + pricey), so we’re calling in reinforcements:
• Raspberries $3 a punnet
• Strawberries $3.60 a punnet

Easy switch.
Melons & A Little Plot Twist
Watermelon is cruising along nicely and Rockmelons are still big now $5.86 each so up $2

And now for something a bit fancy…
Kiwi… but make it red
Yep, Red Kiwi have entered with them being sweeter than gold, slightly smaller.

Red Kiwi $2.21 each
Gold Kiwi still going strong
Green Kiwi arriving next week

Veggie Patch Update

Shepard avocados under $1 (run, don’t walk)
Green beans $4.90/kg
Broccoli is coming down in price, with local Xerri Family Farm stock landing next week
Cabbage & kale are great value
Cauliflower with a drumroll… now around $4

The “Fuel Crisis Veg”

Beetroot has had a moment… and not the good kind.
Up 50% and a bit scarce at $6.73/kg. Blame fuel, not the farmers.
Potatoes and tomatoes are also feeling the pinch thanks to transport from SA.

Salad Days
Plenty to love: cucumbers, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, eggplant, pumpkin and leafy greens everywhere. Basically, your salad bowl has no excuses.

Why seasonal matters
Behind all this good food is something even better. Eating produce in season means it’s fresher, tastier, and often better value because it hasn’t travelled far or needed expensive storage. We’re paying our farmers 10–15% more to help cover rising fuel and input costs because we want them to know we have their backs and to keep growing the amazing produce we all rely on.

So every box you fill? You’re backing Aussie farmers, supporting seasonal produce, and keeping fresh food flowing. Not bad for a week’s shop.
