While the reduced domestic supply of key export fruits like mango and grapes impacted the volume exported, the higher value-added of these fruits helped offset the revenue.

According to Abrafrutas, several of Brazil’s top exported fruits, such as mango, melon, and watermelon, will peak in shipments during the second half of the year. The outlook is optimistic, with expectations of increasing both revenue and export volume by the end of the year.
