The expectation of the increase by the seller Rommeldo Oliveira, active in this sector, is enhanced for more than 45 years, which highlights this change due to the climate as usual. Currently, it is sold in Praça Da República, a tourist spot with a large flow of product consumption. According to him, in addition to the summer, there are extensive sales expectations due to the events held in Belly this year, such as COP 30, which already moves the preparation between the sellers.

Therefore, he indicates that he is always looking forward to this moment. “I have a suitable resource for me and I get more goods, and I make more stores,” he says.

He says that some suppliers have maintained lower prices, so he still receives some loads for $ 2 to unit, and keeps $ 5 in selling it, but this is an exception. This will change soon, because he says, he is already preparing to increase the value of suppliers because of the summer.
On normal days, Guilherme sells thirty coconuts and renovates whenever the demand appears. However, it also changes this behavior during Serio, as well as Rommeldo. Both look forward to summer dates and intelligence, and deal with this period in the best way.
