“Premium” watermelon to be introduced at National Watermelon Convention
Introducing Premium: The LITTLE Watermelon WITH THE BIG YIELD
The National Watermelon convention is gearing up for their 100th anniversary event next week in Savannah, Georgia. Watermelon growers from all over the world will attend this event to learn about the latest and greatest in the market. Nunhems’ watermelon team has been preparing to showcase a new pollinator variety at this event. “Premium” has been a fast growing variety in the European market, and there is great potential for it to have the same success in the US.
Premium’s many attributes include that of improved sustainability and higher profitability to the grower. Instead of leaving the pollinator fruit in the field due to quality issues, growers can harvest Premium as marketable watermelon. This unique pollinator has smaller edible seeds, great flavour and excellent shipping ability. Premium can generate more marketable yields, reduce waste and ultimately more profit per acre.
