“We are showing how modern melon growing in Costa Rica is sustainable, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible, while addressing the challenges of climate change, crop protection, and shifting market demand,” says Stefanie Weber.

Looking ahead to the 2026 season, Pafru S.A. has programmed an area of 1,100 hectares with various melon and watermelon varieties of its own crops, with an expected export volume of about 1,500 containers from February to May. “Our focus is on expanding the cultivation of innovative and specialised varieties of mini watermelons and new types of Galia and Cantaloupe melons,” says Stefanie Weber, who has been appointed Pafru’s director of all Central American operations.
