Spanish company Nunhems is marketing the melon Almanzor F1. It presented the melon at two Fairs recently, one in Adra and another one in El Ejido.
Melon expert Rafael Pastor introduced the product to visitors, allowing them to experience first-hand the benefits of the variety. Mercedes Fernández, a specialist in the sale of melons, said the meeting between Nunhems representatives and the public was a fruitful one. “We are very satisfied with the way it all went down. We have benefited from the opportunity to meet with industry people and hear them voice their questions and concerns.”
The Almanzor F1 was introduced as a type of melon specifically intended for the Almeria market, which perfectly adapts to the climate of this area. The product is said to be highly mildew resistant and has a long shelf life.
