Piracicaba, 15th – At the beginning of September, mean values of salad tomato long life 3A rose in the wholesales due to a decrease in volume, which was a result of the proximity of the end of the first part of the winter harvest. Despite the high prices, wholesalers commented that there is a lack of good quality fruit.
Last week, low offer still boosted prices, even though demand was affected by the holiday on Tuesday (7th).
