Watermelon harvest from Goiás, Brazil, is expected to intensify from May 5th, bringing high-quality fruits to markets. Producers have leveraged intense heat and scant rainfall, optimal for watermelon growth, despite recent increased rainfall. With expectations of high productivity, potentially reaching 44.3 tons per hectare, and maintained firm prices, around R$ 0.73/kg despite increased pesticide usage due to recent rains, producers are poised for a profitable start to the harvest in April, achieving a profitability per kilogram of R$ 0.74/kg.
