Melon: the Zacapa valley (Estanzuela); Fyffes Guatemala operates at Hacienda Quebrada Honda, El Guayabal, with a November-May export window to North America. Berries (blackberry, blueberry): the central highlands; Planesa exports more than 50% of the country's blackberries (the Pure Fresh brand) and is the second-largest French bean exporter — a figure from an industry and commercial directory, still to be verified. Other named packers: Línea Vegetal (>25 years, snow peas and exotics), AGROVEGSA (30 years), Agro Altos and Verdufrut (promotional claims).

The research is written in English; quoted figures, source names and the titles of legal instruments stay in the language their source published them in.

This layer is research: read from public sources by the archive's own team, every claim cited with the date it was consulted, and audited where it is marked so. It has not entered the verified store — no figure here was fetched back from its source or stamped with a retrieval time — so it wears no red provenance numeral and never mixes with the verified figures.
