The initial info on evolution of vegetable planted areas in Almeria reports stability for both the cucumber and courgette, while other produce appears to be on the up again this year, especially the aubergine and above all the pepper. The region’s pepper cultivated area is reportedly even greater than for the tomato. The organisation “Junta Andalucia” reports expansion of tomato surface areas for the small segments, especially the cherry tomato and elongated cherry tomato, with diversification toward small pink fruits. Certain zones are also registering a rise in trussed tomato surface areas, while cultivation of round and elongated tomatoes is being scaled back. Furthermore, all these products had normal planting calendars, unlike last year when they were altered due to the heat. Only the winter cucumber was deliberately planted a little behind schedule this year.
