NongHyup Distribution Introduces Domestic Papaya Melon... 20% Lower Than Market Price

On the 17th, models showcased the first domestically produced papaya melons at the Nonghyup Hanaro Mart Yangjae branch in Seocho-gu, Seoul. Hanaro Mart is selling papaya melons at prices up to 20% lower than the market price.

[Asia Economy Reporter Yuri Kim] Nonghyup Distribution, which operates Nonghyup Hanaro Mart, a specialty agricultural and food store, announced on the 24th that it will introduce domestically produced papaya melons. At Hanaro Mart, papaya melons will be sold at prices up to 20% cheaper than the market price.

Papaya melon is known to be rich in folic acid, which helps improve memory and relieve fatigue. It is a fruit that can be enjoyed fresh only in spring, with a soft texture and sweet taste, making it suitable as a dessert fruit. Since papaya melon is a climacteric fruit, ripening it at room temperature for 2 to 3 days enhances its rich sweetness. Wrapping it well in newspaper for storage allows you to enjoy papaya melon for a longer time.

A Nonghyup Distribution official said, "We are pleased to introduce domestically produced papaya melons for spring amid the trend of decreasing domestic fruit consumption and increasing imported fruit consumption," adding, "We hope customers feel the spring with fresh spring fruits at Hanaro Mart."
