"The new harvest of Xiale watermelons already entered the wholesale market in the middle of May. The supply season is expected to last until the end of August. We have two watermelon plantations in the north and the south of Shanxi province. Our main watermelon varieties are 8424 watermelons and Meidu watermelons. These varieties effectively extended our supply season. The plantation in the south of Shanxi is around 553 hectares, and the plantation in the north of Shanxi is around 180 hectares. The total surface area is around 733 hectares." This is according to Mr. Tian of China Shanxi Xia County Xiale Agricultural Science and Technology Services Co., Ltd.

"The main reason we decided to divide our watermelon plantations over Xia County in the south of Shanxi and Taiyuan Prefecture in the north of Shanxi is the geographical advantage this gives us. The difference in weather conditions between north and south is significant. This allows us to enter the market at two different times and effectively extend our overall supply period. This way we can better satisfy consumer demand for watermelons."

"We pay attention to market demand in the development of product varieties. We cooperate with research and development departments throughout the country. We established an experimental plantation specifically for research and development of new watermelon varieties. In the Xiale Melon Garden we introduce new varieties, experiment, and select the varieties with the highest product quality. We encourage our partners to produce these varieties. We have experimented with 20 different varieties this year. Some of these varieties already exceed watermelon varieties currently on the market."
