Short cucumber has a first starting price of 0.75cents and ends at 0.50Euro cents and the large cucumber keeps steady with low prices from 0.24 cents to 0.15 Euro cents per kilo. This is one of the products with lower profitability in the campaign, which since September just went above the 0.50 cents in the first cut at the auctions. Courgette is not seeing high prices either as it's being sold between 0.48 and 0.30 cents per kilo.

Regarding second class products, the highlight is on the green beans with average values of 1Euro per kilo, green Italian pepper with an average cut of 0.30 cents and the red pepper, lamuyo and california, with an average of 0.50 Euro cents.

For the coming weeks a slight recovery is expected in quotations and for prices to continue in some cases, since there are cultivations like cucumber that are ending and earlier transplants of melon will arrive at the end of January and begining of February to the greenhouses.
