Watermelon color

At this time, the watermelon is not yet ripe. It will be ripe in a few days, but this watermelon is a very beautiful red.I wake up in the morning to buy goods, cut watermelons, pineapples, and sell them.

The creation of watermelon in Bangladesh

Watermelon usually grows in the summer, and its cultivation season varies by region. In Bangladesh, the main season for watermelon cultivation is from November to March, and the fruits are harvested between March and June.

Watermelon's flavor

In the Barishal division, the main watermelon cultivation season usually runs from November to March, with harvesting taking place between March and June.
However, in recent years, farmers in the Barishal region have been discouraged from cultivating watermelons. The primary reasons include:

Unfair pricing due to syndicates of wholesalers
Extortion in the transportation sector
Shortage of quality seeds and fertilizers
As a result, many farmers are shifting to other crops.

For example, a farmer from Chor Loraiapur in Barishal Sadar Upazila, Monsher Hawlader, has switched from watermelon farming to muskmelon cultivation. He stated that despitegood yields, he was not making a profit.

Meanwhile, research institutions are working on off-season watermelon cultivation. The Rahmatpur Regional Agricultural Research Center in Barishal has successfully grown BARI Watermelon-1 and BARI Watermelon-2 on floating beds, yielding fruit in just two and a half months. (banglanews24.com)

To sustain watermelon farming in the Barishal region, improvements in market management, regulation of middlemen, and easier access to agricultural resources are essential. These measures could help farmers receive fair prices and continue growing watermelons profitably.
