ZARANJ (Pajhwok): Excessive rainfall this year helped doubled melon and watermelon yield in southwestern Nimroz province compared to the previous year, an official said Thursday.
Agriculture Director Mohammad Akbar Sharifi said last year melon and watermelon crops were cultivated on 40,000 hectors of land in Niromz.
“More melon and watermelon are cultivated in Chakansour district, which is yet to be brought to the market. The prices would come down drastically once the fruits supply starts to the market,” he said.
Sharifi said this year . . .
