It’s worth noting that the harvest is expected to conclude in March in Rio Grande do Norte/Ceará. However, volumes are already dwindling on farms. Central American countries like Costa Rica, competing with Brazil for the European market, have already begun shipping across the Atlantic. Therefore, a gradual reduction in Brazilian melon exports is expected in the coming months due to increased international competition.
