WATERMELON/CEPEA: Quality variation press down prices in South of Brazil See photos

Piracicaba, 24 – The small volume of watermelon offered in Encruzilhada do Sul and Bagé (Rio Grande do Sul state) was not enough to raise prices last week (February 13th to 17th), and It was a result of quality variation in Encruzilhada do Sul, where the end of season is coming, and the small size of watermelons from Bagé, where the season is almost beginning. Thus, producers from Rio Grande do Sul state were flexible to negociate prices, which decreased 11% in comparison to the previous week.
