Hi "New DBA",
Further to what Stephane has said below, the following two stats in your initial post are interesting ...
consistent gets 559985 table fetch continued row 212027
That suggests that there is a fair amount of row chaining or migration in
one of the tables.
If it's migration, rather than chaining, you'll get a ~37% reduction in
logical reads if you fix it. The following script can often be used to
distinguish between chaining and migration. It counts the number of rows for
which the first column is not able to be returned from the first row piece.
Although it is possible for that to be the case with row chaining, it's more
likely a symptom of migration.

Before checking stats, execution plans and the like take a look at your query. I presume that it is generated, otherwise you would probably say that a date belongs to a month by using a BETWEEN the first and the thirty first rather than listing all the 31 days, would you ? Now perhaps the generator could generate a BETWEEN if you are always interested by consecutive days? Note that the GEO table is totally useless in the FROM clause. You return no data from it, and it is not needed to join together two tables you return data from. If you need it to check some data consistency, it should be in a subquery (IN or EXISTS, depending on the volumes of data to process), but best of all the problem should have been tackled at the root with referential integrity constraints. Even if you may have (always those b***y generators) it should be better located in a subquery - by the way, it might help you dispose of the UNIQUE (calling DISTINCT UNIQUE doesn't make it better :-)).
The condition of CUR_SYS_NO should be applied to the column from MEPAI,
which you will encounter first, rather than the column from CUR, since they
are equal.
Now you have to decide which of MEPAI or PRODUCTS should be the table you
search first. It depends on the selectivity of your data. Be certain that
your table and index statistics are up-to-date. If you still feel that
Oracle processes it badly, try playing on the optimizer goal
(FIRST_ROWS/ALL_ROWS) and if you get a result which satisfies you add it as
a hint.
