Myanmar watermelons and muskmelons fetch strong prices
GOOD-QUALITY melons and muskmelons,
which are being exported to China, have enjoyed good prices, despite the
limited quantity, according to border wholesale trading centres.
Exports have continued through Mongla,
with both fruits enjoying a good price of between five and six yuan per kilo,
said Khwarnyo fruits wholesale trading centre.
However, unqualified rain-fed melons
can’t endure the longer journey, making the export of the quantity of goods
still low.
“Muskmelons, which were grown with the
expectation of the Muse trading route, have been exported through Mongla only
for now. Even if it costs more and takes the journey longer, there is no option
but to transport them to their destination when the time arrives. The price of
melon and muskmelon is good,” said the person in charge of the fruits
wholesale trading centre.
Despite a good price, good-quality melon
and muskmelon are being exported in limited quantities. — MT/ZS
