Most Expensive Fruit: Whenever we talk about expensive things, usually only luxury cars or things like gold and diamonds come to our mind. But there is a melon in Japan which can cost more than a new car. Its name is Yubari King Melon. It is grown only in Japan and holds the title of the most expensive fruit in the world. Let us know what is the reason behind the high price of this melon.
what is yubari king melon
This melon is a premium variety of cantaloupe. It is grown only in the Yubari area of Hokkaido island of Japan. It is not just a fruit but a luxury product. It is known for its perfectly round shape, smooth mesh skin, shiny pulp and excellent sweetness.
What is its specialty?
Its high price is its biggest feature. This melon has a strict geographical identity which means it can only be grown in the Yubari region. The soil there is heavy with volcanic minerals and the climate there creates incomparable sweetness and fragrance with huge differences in day and night temperatures.
Not farming but a science experiment
This melon is grown under carefully controlled conditions inside a greenhouse. Farmers keep a precise eye on temperature, humidity, sunlight and even water quality. In many cases, only one melon is grown on each plant so that all the nutrients come from a single melon.
Demand increased due to low production
This melon is produced in very small quantities every year. Any fruits that do not meet the exact standards of size, sweetness or appearance are rejected. This shortage combined with curiosity and demand from around the world increases the prices. Let us tell you that the first crop of this melon is traditionally sold in auction. Aamir buyers often bid heavily to get companies publicity and research. In an auction, this pair of melons was sold for Rs 33 lakh.
