The spring brings the beginning of some long-awaited Spanish fruit seasons, which have already started with some delay in each segment. "The start of the watermelon season has been marked by the high prices and strong demand for the early production from North Africa. "Regarding stone fruit, the beginning of the season has so far been exciting, with improvements in the quality of the early varieties and good prices in the markets." "After a difficult first few months this year, with oversupply and comparatively low prices, it seems that shipments are becoming more reasonable, and we imminently expect an improvement in the market. We also expect more sustainable prices in the coming weeks," concludes Francisco Riego Ramos, general manager of Martimar.
