Melon is a commodity that has a high selling value, in addition to having a delicious taste and fresh, this fruit also has a virtue that is not less important than the expensive price. This time I visited one of the village's melon garden, this business has been in tekuni since 2 years ago.
The beginning of this venture capital is from his own savings or using self funds. However, after 2 harvests he got an injection of funds from the local campus that can finally survive until now. The planting season begins when the rainy season is up or entering a period of moderate rainfall. To cultivate the planting land, he pays wages to the workers for the land to be ready and the planting process can be directly implemented.
The marketing of the crop is marketed in the local market and outside the area although often come outside distributors to offer the harvest with a price slightly more expensive than the selling price to the market.
