We can already see the demand being high at the moment. We feel this is a result of the low quantities of available stone fruit, like peaches nectarines and apricots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"Index_right\" src=\"https:\/\/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net\/misc\/FP_com\/2021\/05\/13\/Mit2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"135\" height=\"100\" \/>As Greece has had good weather, the quality benefited this year, Mitrosilis explains: \u201cGreece\u2019s production of watermelons is on a normal level this year, which we\u2019re happy to see. Thanks to good weather, the quality of the watermelons should be good as well. With demand already being high and more and more European countries getting a grip on Covid 19, we expect there to be an increased consumption of summer fruits compared to last year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<br \/>\nNikos Katsaloulis<br \/>\n<strong>Mitrosilis<\/strong><br \/>\nTel: +30 2752045000<br \/>\nMob: +30 6947775533<br \/>\nEmail:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:nikos.katsaloulis@mitrosilis.gr?subject=Response%20to%20FreshPlaza.com%20article\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nikos.katsaloulis@mitrosilis.gr<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mitrosilis.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.mitrosilis.gr<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Publication date:\u00a0<time datetime=\"2021-05-13T11:49:00.0000000\">Thu 13 May 2021<\/time><br \/>\nAuthor:\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:nick@freshplaza.com\">Nick Peters<\/a><br \/>\n\u00a9\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.freshplaza.com\/\">FreshPlaza.com<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cycle cycle1\" data-cycle-delay=\"15000\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greek watermelon season starting The Greek watermelon season is about to kick off.
