The salesman says it has been a strange season, which started late due to the cold weather conditions. "The cold weather meant that the demand has also been low. I can't predict how the market will progress over the next few weeks. At the moment the prices are at a lower level than Spain would like. The price of the watermelon is between 35 and 40 cents and for the better sizes of Galias it's between 5.50 and 6.50 Euro."
"The quality of the last melons from Almeria is traditionally a little lower, but the prospects for the melons from Murcia are good," continues Niall. "With daily arrivals we can also provide a fresh product. Due to good contacts with different suppliers in Spain we can always work with good prices. We carry various brands, so that there is something for every customer. We export most of the melons to the United Kingdom, Scandinavia and Germany."
