Earlier Report Observations

Israel's watermelon and melon market volume grew consistently from 121.1 thousand tons in 2018 to 152.1 thousand tons in 2021. The increase in 2021 coincided with a global consumer shift toward seedless varieties and fresh, high-quality fruit, driving demand.

After a decline to 123.5 thousand tons in 2022, the market recovered to 132.0 thousand tons in 2023. This rebound was fueled by rising per capita consumption linked to health trends and the expansion of pre-packaged, convenient melon options in retail.
