The price of fruit in city markets has dropped considerably, due to a glut of fresh produce that has hit the markets. Prices are about 25%-50% lower than some months ago. The wholesale market prices are usually marked up by 30%, but these prices can be obtained during the sales days of the big supermarket chains, Pola & El Nacional (Wednesday) and Bravo (Tuesday).
Some wholesale market prices are:
Watermelons selling for RD$30-RD$60, depending on size, pineapples could be had for RD$15-RD$20, papaya was selling for RD$20, and melons for RD$15-RD$25.
