Last week, Almeria made its first shipments of Piel de Sapo and yellow melons to the European markets. Although the campaign started with good prices, these are now on a falling trend.
We started with delays last week as a result of the rains in April and early March. Prices were high due to the low volumes and to the expectation motivated by the delays; however, things are different now, because not only is the market better supplied, but demand has also fallen because of the weather in Europe
