Jinan County in South Korea has started exporting its melons to Hong Kong, with an initial shipment of 2.4 tons. The melons are known for their firm flesh and high sugar content, due to the region's highland climate. The Melon Industry Association, organized by the Baekun Agricultural Cooperative, plans to produce 64 tons of melons from 4 hectares and generate sales of 260 million won this year. The county plans to continue supporting high-quality melon production and expanding sales channels.
