Press Release Regarding the Current Situation in the Watermelon Market

Based on this data, the Ministry will assess the actual situation and, in accordance with legal possibilities, undertake activities to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. According to the information currently available to the Ministry, the issue primarily involves a market disruption caused by the simultaneous arrival of large quantities of watermelons and market saturation in the region where Montenegrin producers have previously sold surplus products. However, before making any decisions, reliable data on the extent of the problem and the quantities that need to be addressed must be available. The Ministry expects producers, at its initiative, to submit the requested list by the end of the working day so that possible solutions can be considered without delay. The Ministry will, within its competencies and legal possibilities, make every effort to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
