Xizhoumi 25 melons ready for the market
“This season’s pumpkin crop has started to make its way to the market. We have a production facility in Changle that spans tens of thousands of acres. After 3 months, our products will reach the market in large volumes. At the moment, the cooperative prices for our Beibei pumpkins stand at around 3.5 yuan/half kg." The marketing season of our Xizhoumi melon is roughly the same as that of our pumpkins. Their cooperative prices are at about 3 yuan/half kg. ”Mr. Meng introduced.“This year's production will be much larger than last year. This is due to the fact that sales of these varieties were very good last year and prices were high, attracting local farmers to follow each other and plant large areas. ”
