Melon presented by Kuji CONTENT 1 Introduction 2 Production Activities 3 Kuji’s Solution 4 Conclusion INTRODUCTION BIOLOGICAL PROPERTIES • Melon is a species in the family Cucurbitaceae. They have relatively short growth period and can be grown all year round • They originate from India and Africa. • Their weight is from 0,5 kg to 5 kg. • They are suitable with wet and well-drained soil and hot climate as Vietnam. • They are sensitive to the impact of external factors such as nutrition, water and pests. CULTIVATE CONDITION . Temperature . Soil For burgeoning: from 21°C to 32°C Light soil, sandy soil (high For growing: from 16°C to 35°C soil base, well-drained), . Climate pH level from 6.0 to 6.5 Hot . Planting density: Planting density and planting distance is in single rows in dry season, reaching number of 2500-2700 trees/1,000m 2 ; and in rainy season. 2200-2500 trees/1000m 2 NUTRITION FACTS Nutrition Facts per 100g (3.5 oz) Energy Carbonhydrate Protein Fat Cholesterol Fibre Folate Niacin Axit Pantothenic Pyridoxine Riboflavin Thiamin Vitamin A Vitamin C Vitamin E Vitamin K Sodium Potassium Calcium Copper Iron Magnesium Manganese Zinc 34Kcal 8,6g 0,84g 0,19g 0 mg 0,9g 21µg (5%) 0,734mg (4,5%) 0,105mg (2%) 0,072mg (5,5%) 0,026mg (2%) 0,017mg (1%) 3382IU (112%) 36,7mg (61%) 0,05mg (0,5%) 2,5mcg (2%) 1mg (0%) 267mg (6%) 9mg (1%) 41µg (4,5% 0,21mg (2.5%) 12 mg (3%) 0,041mg (2%) 0,18mg (1.5%) Melons have high nutritional value. They are the source of antioxidant in polyphenol form and health benefits in strengthen the immune system and prevention of cancer. These substances regulate the formation of nitric oxide which is important for endothelium and cardiovascular system. Melon is good for variety of diseases: • Acne, allergies, anemia • Headache, diabetes, impotence • Diseases of the blood pressure, metabolism, bowel, prostate. • Hemorrhoids, stress, rickets, sinusitis. • Thyroid problems, etc. CULTIVATION • Melon is very sensitive to weather, so water for irrigation should be clean water resource, pH level from 6 to 7, no salt and no alum. • Fertilizers such as KNO3, MgSO4, K2SO4, (NH4) 2SO4, urea, KH2PO4, Ca (NO3) 2 are often mixed in water as nutritional liquid ensuring full elements necessary for melon to grow and develop such as K, N, P, S, Ca, Mg, etc. • Nutritional liquid and water irrigation are supplied simultaneously through Drip irrigation system and has a suitable concentration for the nutritional needs at each stage of plant growth. HARVEST Melon should be harvested at the right time based on ripe indicators (based on factors such as the time, level of skin generation and stem cracking) to get the best quality and prolong storage. Time of stem cracking – 58 days Time of stem breaking – 65 days PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES IN GLOBAL • Melon is grown and produced in most of the tropics and subtropics, including the Mediterranean and • Southern Europe. Mexico is the world's largest melon producer but mostly for domestic consumption and export to the North American market; followed by India, Brazil and the Central American countries.

Annual revenue was from 3 to 4 VND billion/ha and profit was from 25% to 30%. Melon is a luxury item, has been consumed mainly in supermarkets, restaurants and hotels. Currently, Vietnamese consumers become more and more preferring melons. Therefore, though increasing in farming area, supply still does not satisfy demand. • At first, in order to reduce costs, many farmers planted melons in the field like watermelons; but it was easy to be influenced by pests and diseases, unstable quality and yield led to ineffective production. Currently, melons are planted in greenhouse made by Israel technology, which has been considered effective economic in Lam Dong, Tay Ninh, Ben Tre, Dong Nai, Ho Chi Minh City, etc. Melons grown in greenhouse can be planted for 4 crops and yields of 20-40 tonnes/ha. IN VIETNAM • Melon seeds sold are imported from Thailand, Taiwan, Japan, etc. Their price are from 1.000 to 8.000 VND per seed, high quality seeds price are from 1 to 2 USD per seed. Good quality seeds are usually rare and expensive. • Some imported varieties of melon not adapted to the ecological conditions have been badly fruited. Meanwhile, high cost of melon cultivation has led to susceptible to get loss. • Recently, Chinese melons are sold widely with cheap price in Vietnam market, but that is not enough to make Vietnamese melon price decrease due to difference of melon quality. OPPORTUNITY FOR VIETNAM Currently, Japan is a potential market of Vietnamese melons: • Domestic retail price of melon is always from 35.000 to 60.000 VND/kg, while export price to Japan is from 75.000 to 85.000 VND/kg. • In Japan, melons are planted only for 2 crops per year (harvest from April to September), while Vietnam has 5 melon crops per year. • Vietnam has a great opportunity of export expansion by joining TPP together with Japan, Singapore and Korea. Meanwhile, Japan’s government is laying down as a policy importing agricultural products from Vietnam under Japanese standards. RECOMMENDATION FOR VIETNAM Some recommendations to strongly exploit melons export potential to Japan: Vietnamese • Investing in research, applying strictly cultivation methods under Japanese standards in order to enhance quality of products and stabilize output to meet the demand for export markets. • Applying high technology greenhouse system to improve product quality, branding and reduce production costs for corporations. • Understanding and meeting strict quarantine standards of Japan to expand export opportunities. KUJI’S SOLUTION KUJI’S SOLUTION • Selecting the best varieties from Japan which are suitable for Vietnamese pedology such as Taki, Taka and Tazoti. • Investing package in infrastructure of greenhouse. • Applying of technical measures with high-tech application such as Drip irrigation system which is automatically inject fertilizer and proactively control pests. • Facilitating the best conditions for plants growth, ensuring productivity and stabilize quality of plants. KUJI’S SOLUTION Description of the control system via Smartphone KUJI’S SOLUTION Function of the control system via Smartphone KUJI’S SOLUTION Outstanding technical advantages of the Greenhouse installed by Kuji: • • • • • Providing the complete solution of Greenhouse for planting melon under technique and standards of Japan. Achieving high internal rate of return (IRR) (32.92% and 175.90%) and ensuring high and stable price of output for long-term (through the supermarket system such as Co-op Mart, Big C, Aeon, Family Mart and partners in Japan, Korea and Singapore). Using high technology, automatic controller and traceability for each plant and each melon via Smartphone (Meteorological station, Control pH & EC device, Temperature, humidity and light inside the greenhouse monitor). Ensuring optimum and the best growing conditions for melon. Saving fertilizer, water and labor; increasing productivity and stable quality of melon under Japanese import standards.
