Piracicaba, 4th - Last week (June 24th to 28th), although supply remained controlled, yellow melon prices changed little in Ceagesp. As a result of limited demand for fruit due to mild climate and the end of the month. Moreover, quality is still a problem, considering the high volume of rain in crops during maturation period.
Thus, average price of yellow type 6 and 7 remained, in relation to previous week, closing at BRL 28.50 per box of 13 kg. This maintenance was observed only for large sizes (5, 6, 7 and 8), whereas small sizes (11 and 12) presented a retreat of 6%.
