Piracicaba, 30th – In 2019, tomato planted area in Brazil was 8.4% smaller than 2018. The reduction in area was 2.1% for table tomato and 16% for industry tomate. The accumulated decrease in the past two years was above 30%.
As a result, in 2019, quotes closed well above production cost. In spite of this good scenario, prices dropped sharply in the second semester. High temperatures accelerated fruit maturation what promoted a significant increase in the second part of winter season. Oversupply caused loss for most part of tomato producers.
