I’ve been working with watermelons for 40 years, and this is the worst year by far. The border is closed, no permission to set up carts, which is why there’s no rate for watermelons at all. Sold a truckload for 150,000, and transport and other expenses came to 110,000. There’s a loss of 200,000 per acre. The lament of the watermelon farmer.
