The article anticipates the upcoming early melon harvest in the lagoon region, expected by the end of March or early April in municipalities such as Matamoros and Viesca. Approximately 400 hectares have been planted since December, and producers are hopeful for a successful season. There are three melon harvests in the Comarca Lagunera throughout the year, with the early harvest primarily from Matamoros and Viesca. Last year's early melons sold for 8 to 12 pesos per kilo, but producers expect to increase the price to at least 10 pesos this year due to rising costs of inputs like seed and ammonium sulfate.
