Improving weather conditions in Ukraine allowed watermelon producers to continue an active fee, causing an increase in supply of products in the market. Analysts reported it Eastfruit.
According to farmers, the price situation is exacerbated by the fact that the main part of the supply is large -caliber products, the demand of which is weak. Pustom companies and retail networks reduce the purchases of such watermelons to a minimum, determining the extra low speed of retail sales.
