Agromart’s watermelon are a refreshing low-sugar fruit, perfect to fight against the heat.
They come from our own production in Son Mesquida Felanitx.
This year, the production of watermelon and melon has been challenging due to the unusual weather conditions in June.
There were heavy rains and flooding in the plain area of Mallorca, with up to 200 liters of water per square meter in just 2 days.
Nevertheless, we have a forecast to harvest around 25,000 KG of watermelon weekly in the upcoming months to supply all our Agromart stores on Mallorca.
These watermelons are from our own production, harvested from our farms in Son Mesquida Felanitx.
