A few years ago, no one could believe that watermelons could be grown on Belarusian soil. The first experiment on the cultivation of heat-loving culture on an industrial scale was made in Chernyany.
The harvest was obtained in 2015 and the taste of the Belarusian watermelon was not inferior to Astrakhan, according to EastFruit experts. According to the assurances of local farmers, when growing watermelons, they do not use any additional plant protection products, as they are oriented towards the production of organic products and intend to certify them according to the "Organic" standard.
