This drop is due, despite the good volume harvested here, to financial obstacles in Argentina, one of the leading importers of the Brazilian fruit. Furthermore, there was a plentiful supply of bananas at lower prices and higher quality in Paraguay, Brazil’s main competitor. The scenario for February should be similar.
