Melon prices saw significant growth, with first-category melons nearly doubling in value from 0.12–0.14 euros/kg to 0.23–0.26 euros/kg. Watermelon prices also saw moderate increases, such as seedless black watermelon of the first category rising to 0.24–0.26 euros/kg. In subsequent sessions, the market showed mixed trends. Melon prices stabilized across all categories, including extra, first, and second categories. Conversely, watermelon prices saw a decrease, with first-category seedless black and white varieties dropping by four cents per kilogram to a range of 0.20–0.22 euros. During the fifth session of the Melon and Watermelon Price Board in Tomelloso, these trends persisted. First-category seedless black and white watermelons maintained their decrease to the 0.20–0.22 euros/kg range, while other watermelon categories, such as second-category varieties and pollinators, received no quotations. Melon prices remained steady, with the extra category priced between 0.28 and 0.30 euros/kg, the first category between 0.23 and 0.25 euros/kg, and the second category between 0.14 and 0.16 euros/kg. The IGP Melón de La Mancha also remained without a quotation. More recently, the market has entered a new period of widespread price increases across all traded categories, following the progression of the current agricultural campaign.
