Less fruit exports in June

It shoud be noted, however, that exports of watermelons have virtually tripled from 7000 tons to almost 20,000 tons and those of melon have almost doubled to 2,000 tons.

28 percent of exports of fruits leave for Russia, 18% for Germany and 11% for Iraq, yet with a respective decrease of 17,4 and 18 per cent compared to June 2013.

The decline in exports of fruits do not concern citrus fruit whose exports has doubled compared to June 2013, particular thanks to exports of grapefruit, which rose from 20 tons to 7000 tons.
