High prices on fruit and vegetables for consumers. “Prices on fruit and vegetables are always changing. At times during seasons and conditions. Greece went through a 2-month heatwave, went through a 5-month drought, resulting in reduced production, poor production and that leads to price increases. The price increase is occasional. Our own products are 100% dependent on the weather. How cheaply everyone sells is his own choice, it is due to his professionalism and what he wants to give to the world,” says fruit trader Yannis Sideris.

“Right now, watermelons and melons are the best. Tomatoes for the season are not expensive,” he added.
