Muskmelon is a premium fruit that achieves its best sweetness and aroma only under controlled conditions. The dry, warm environment inside Agrifirst polyhouse promotes higher sugar accumulation, better netting (skin pattern), and intense fragrance — qualities that command premium pricing in urban markets.
Why Grow Muskmelon in Agrifirst Polyhouse?
- Superior sweetness — Controlled conditions boost Brix levels to 14–16% vs 10–12% in open field
- Rain protection — Essential during fruit ripening when even light rain causes cracking and rot
- Off-season production — Grow sweet melons year-round for premium pricing
- Premium Japanese varieties — High-value varieties like Yubari-type require polyhouse conditions
- Better shelf life — Protected fruit has fewer blemishes and lasts longer
