Papaya prices are experiencing a decline due to slow demand and stable supply, leading to a decrease in the price paid to producers in certain regions. This is attributed to the end-of-year holidays and school vacations, which have reduced demand. As a result, prices have dropped by 5% for Hawaii 12-18 in the North of Espírito Santo and 12% for Hawaii 15-18 in wholesale. It is expected that demand will remain low in the coming weeks, preventing any significant price increases both in wholesale and on farms.
