The Association of Fruit and Vegetable Producers' Organizations of Almería (COEXPHAL) has described as "very bad" the current melon and watermelon campaign, given that farmers who have opted for these fruits typical of the Almeria spring season are enduring its sale at prices below the threshold of profitability. All this translates into a little viable campaign in which, in the case of melon, the average contribution to date is 60% below the average of last year. As for watermelon, their prices have fallen 10% compared to the previous season.
