Heat And Drought Reduce Watermelon And Melon Harvest By Half - Spain

Mario Picazo Díaz, farmer and partner of Melones y Sandías 'Los Picazos', in one of his fields with a melon, on July 20, 2023, in Alcázar de San Juan, Ciudad Real, Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). The scarce supply of melons and watermelons has caused the price of these typical summer fruits to rise, reaching 2.50 euros per kilo when at the same time they were sold at 1.20 euros per kilo. This shortage is due to the high temperatures and intermittent rainfall in May and June, which caused many fruits to spoil. Photo by Rey Sotolongo/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
