In the first quarter of 2022, Brazilian fruit exports experienced a minor 2% increase in volume, totaling 250,000 tons, despite facing various challenges. The export value remained stable at $196 million. Notably, melon, lemon, mango, and watermelon were the most exported fruits. While melon and lemon exports saw growth, grape and apple exports underwent significant decreases due to adverse weather conditions and logistical issues. The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine further impacted the sector by driving up costs and causing logistical difficulties.
