Costa Rica Melon Producers Gloom On Future

Melon producers in Costa Rica say that production may soon disappear, partly due to few tools to compete internationally and the high cost of production.



Producers say they are facing a very bad situation, with many considering to supplant melon crops with other to generate higher income.

The producers say they are doing their best to keep producing the fruit on Costa Rican soil, but there is real danger that the production will soon be gone completely, this despite the "Good market expected for Costa Rican melons" report by Fresh Plaza last March.
