독일 신선 토마토 수입 시장 (6월, 2022)

The article explores the significant increase in the price of melons and watermelons in Spain, with the cost per kilo rising to over 10 euros from earlier in the year due to a combination of factors. These factors include high fuel and energy costs, the impact of the Ukraine war on food prices, and the effects of weather conditions on production in regions such as Almería and Murcia. The rise in fruit prices is part of an overall inflation trend in Castilla-La Mancha, with the food CPI rising by 8.1% year-year to date. Despite these price hikes, demand for these fruits remains strong among Spanish consumers. Industry representatives are hopeful that prices will stabilize by the end of July, allowing farmers to cover their costs and addressing the current profitability challenges in the sector.
