In the winter months, the demand for melons in North America and Europe is traditionally lower, since the winter weather keeps the demand in check. The mood on the market is determined by the supply from Latin America.
The European summer has had a false start. The weather in May and June has generally been gray, and if there is one product that suffers from gray, rainy summers, it is the watermelons.
The melon supply is currently shifting from Brazil to Senegal. The Central American melon season has started much too late.
The global melon market has been up and down in many countries this season.
All is not well on the global melon and watermelon market, even if there is some relief in sight as the global pandemic ends.
