Given this, its cost in the markets has left more than one surprised, since for some days, this citrus fruit has unleashed in prices and remains on the rise. What caused this to happen?
Why did the price of lemon go up?
Just as it happened in 2017 with the floods caused by El Niño Costero, this time things are similar. Let's remember that during that time everything that happened was really destructive for the country.
The huaicos and excessive rains spoiled a large part of the lemon cultivation hectares, so it became more and more scarce, thus increasing its value everywhere.
This time, everything is repeating itself. Its high price today is due to the precipitations that result in a decrease in production. Everything falls back on the period that was experienced when the phenomenon of El Niño Costero arrived this year, and it will still continue until summer 2024.
