The weather hurts the crop: “Where are the March waters?”
The year 2025 brought an additional challenge to the producers of Bakaba: Lack of rain. Depending on the normal Amazonian winter to develop, this fruit has experienced the effects of Out -Off -season drought. “This winter is ‘winter summer’,” said Lace. “Bakaba came from the winter. Water needs. Where are the waters in March?” He asks.
The most limited product, along with high demand, leads to prices in the coming weeks.
“The trend is to get out of it and disappear. I am going to put my price, but it will be difficult to find it,” he said.
Estimates: focus and high price
With the crop door knocking, sellers like Erone have warned that there are no more cold fresh festivals after April. It is possible to get out -off -season fruit, but with high prices and low quality.
“If she found it, it would be expensive. Then the ACAI reversal would take place: he would start getting cheap and most expensive bakoba,” he said.
In this scenario, the Amazonian fruit market strengthens the seasonal logic of the market: ACAI stabilizes and falls on the price, falls on the production of Bakaba and increases the value of the popular festivals in Belem.
