\u201cAlthough prices remained stable, they didn\u2019t make up for the lack of volumes\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SARL Bigoud, located in Brittany in Plomeur on the Pointe de la Torche, ended its asparagus season on May 15. It was a decent season thanks to stable and reasonable prices throughout, but overall not as good as last year\u2019s:
\u201cWe started in early March, about a week late, and overall yields were lower than in previous years because the cold weather slowed down asparagus growth,\u201d<\/strong> explains Karel Kaptein, manager of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was, however, a production peak around Easter:
\u201cThat was the only time during the season when we had a surge in growth. To avoid being stuck with excess volumes, we ran promotions and lowered prices to around \u20ac6 for the 22+ calibers, which were particularly abundant this year. It was a winning strategy since sales remained steady, even though it\u2019s always harder to raise prices afterward. For the other calibers\u201412\u201316 and 16\u201322\u2014sold in bunches, we maintained prices at around \u20ac8 until the end of the season.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although prices remained stable and reasonable, they weren\u2019t enough this year to offset the lack of volume.
Currently, alongside leeks, sand-grown carrots, and flower bulbs, asparagus is grown on 20 hectares at SARL Bigoud. This surface could be doubled by the future buyer of the farm, as Karel Kaptein plans to sell the operation this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
