The square watermelons of the Panama is exported in New York and soon in Europe
The Panama Fruit Producer Co found a growth niche in the export of fruits: the square watermelons.
These watermelons are not the result of a genetic experience, the explanation is much easier : we grow watermelons in one limp in the shape of cube which act as mould, so the watermelon is forced to develop "in the square ".
It’s a Japanese farmer which produced the first square watermelons which are sold for several years in Japan.
The watermelon will be on sale at the price of 75$ each, but producers hope to make the prices lower.
The Panama Fruit Producer Co has just made its first delivery in New York, and estimates that he can begin this year the sending to Netherlands and Germany.
