As Massimo says: "At the moment, most products from Almeria have no excellent quality due to strong frost in the last weeks, unusual for this area, resulting in many problems for fruit and plants".
"In the next weeks a considerable decrease of quality products is expected, on behalf of a second choice product, beautiful to look at but with its problems visible in a few days." He adds: "With these conditions it is impossible to predict prices and volumes for this week."

"The company D & D, as producer and trader, increased controls on imported products avoiding shipments of products with problems for its clients. I think that many other cooperatives in Almeria made the same choice" Massimo concludes.
