Their top 200 melons have already sold out
For the past 10 years, three Malaysian farmers have been perfecting the right concoction of nutrients and treatment to successfully grow Japanese muskmelons, one of the world's most expensive fruits, in Malaysia's hot, tropical weather.
After constant experimentation and trials, the farmers at Mono in Malaysia's administrative capital Putrajaya are finally selling their prized luxury fruits of labour on the market.
"Every single Japanese melon that you see in our farm is almost like a single art piece. This (is) one of the most important criteria and mostly difficult to maintain it. To make sure they have very nice appearance and netting, we have to make sure that nutrition, the watering and the fertiliser have to be very consistent and very precisely," said director and co-founder of Mono, Seh Cheng Siang.
