INTRODUCTION


BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES
• Melon is a species in the family Cucurbitaceae.
They have relatively short growth period and can be
grown all year round
• They originate from India and Africa.

• Their weight is from 0,5 kg to 5 kg.
• They are suitable with wet and well-drained soil and
hot climate as Vietnam.
• They are sensitive to the impact of external factors
such as nutrition, water and pests.

Melons have high nutritional value. They are
the source of antioxidant in polyphenol form
and health benefits in strengthen the immune
system and prevention of cancer. These
substances regulate the formation of nitric
oxide which is important for endothelium and
cardiovascular system.
Melon is good for variety of diseases:
• Acne, allergies, anemia

• Headache, diabetes, impotence
• Diseases
of
the
blood
pressure,
metabolism, bowel, prostate.
• Hemorrhoids, stress, rickets, sinusitis.
• Thyroid problems, etc.


CULTIVATION

• Melon is very sensitive to weather, so water for irrigation
should be clean water resource, pH level from 6 to 7, no
salt and no alum.
•
Fertilizers such as KNO3, MgSO4, K2SO4, (NH4) 2SO4,
urea, KH2PO4, Ca (NO3) 2 are often mixed in water as
nutritional liquid ensuring full elements necessary for melon
to grow and develop such as K, N, P, S, Ca, Mg, etc.
• Nutritional liquid and water irrigation are supplied
simultaneously through Drip irrigation system and has a
suitable concentration for the nutritional needs at each
stage of plant growth.


HARVEST
Melon should be harvested at the right time based on ripe
indicators (based on factors such as the time, level of skin

generation and stem cracking) to get the best quality and
prolong storage.

Time of stem cracking – 58 days

Time of stem breaking – 65 days


PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES


IN GLOBAL

• Melon is grown and produced in most
of the tropics and subtropics,
including the Mediterranean and
• Southern Europe.
Mexico is the world's largest melon
producer but mostly for domestic
consumption and export to the North
American market; followed by India,
Brazil and the Central American
countries.

IN VIETNAM
•
•
•

Melon has been introduced into Vietnam for 4-5 years. Annual revenue was from 3 to 4
VND billion/ha and profit was from 25% to 30%.
Melon is a luxury item, has been consumed mainly in supermarkets, restaurants and
hotels.
Currently, Vietnamese consumers become more and more preferring melons.
Therefore, though increasing in farming area, supply still does not satisfy demand.

• At first, in order to reduce costs, many farmers
planted melons in the field like watermelons; but
it was easy to be influenced by pests and
diseases, unstable quality and yield led to
ineffective production. Currently, melons are
planted in greenhouse made by Israel
technology, which has been considered
effective economic in Lam Dong, Tay Ninh, Ben
Tre, Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, etc. Melons
grown in greenhouse can be planted for 4 crops
and yields of 20-40 tonnes/ha.

IN VIETNAM

• Melon seeds sold are imported
from Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, etc.
Their price are from 1.000 to 8.000
VND per seed, high quality seeds
price are from 1 to 2 USD per
seed. Good quality seeds are
usually rare and expensive.
• Some imported varieties of melon not adapted to the ecological
conditions have been badly fruited. Meanwhile, high cost of melon
cultivation has led to susceptible to get loss.
•
Recently, Chinese melons are sold widely with cheap price in Vietnam
market, but that is not enough to make Vietnamese melon price
decrease due to difference of melon quality.


OPPORTUNITY FOR VIETNAM

Currently, Japan is a potential market of Vietnamese melons:
• Domestic retail price of melon is always from 35.000 to 60.000
VND/kg, while export price to Japan is from 75.000 to 85.000
VND/kg.
• In Japan, melons are planted only for 2 crops per year (harvest from
April to September), while Vietnam has 5 melon crops per year.
• Vietnam has a great opportunity of export expansion by joining TPP
together with Japan, Singapore and Korea. Meanwhile, Japan’s
government is laying down as a policy importing agricultural products

from Vietnam under Japanese standards.


RECOMMENDATION
FOR VIETNAM
Some recommendations to strongly exploit
melons export potential to Japan:

Vietnamese

• Investing in research, applying strictly cultivation methods under
Japanese standards in order to enhance quality of products and
stabilize output to meet the demand for export markets.
•
Applying high technology greenhouse system to improve
product quality, branding and reduce production costs for
corporations.
•
Understanding and meeting strict quarantine standards of
Japan to expand export opportunities.
