Producers in Merida, Yucatan, are facing a difficult situation due to the commercialization of their agricultural products, especially habanero peppers. The pandemic has caused damage to their crops and a lack of support from authorities, leading to an excess in habanero pepper production with no demand in the market. The low prices are hurting their profits, and the situation is worsened by unexpected weather conditions. This is a recurring problem in Tizimín due to its geographical location, with the town being susceptible to hurricanes each year.
