Chechen melon growers have been using modern technologies to establish a conveyor system for growing watermelons, resulting in a successful harvest this year. Over 1,000 hectares of land were allocated for planting melons in the region, and the total crop shipped to the rest of Russia amounted to 5,469 tons. Despite a lack of rain, the melon growers were able to obtain a good harvest and provide jobs for 1,500-1,800 people.
