In autumn, the markets of the Dashoguz velayat are rich in melons and gourds

These days, melons, watermelons, and pumpkins are being brought to the markets of the Dashoguz velayat in large quantities. In autumn, markets of the velayat are rich in melons and gourds. The majority of goods offered to customers are products grown in the fields of the region. Among them is the widely known winter melon variety, loved for its juiciness and sweetness, and for its long shelf life. Pumpkins are selling well, especially the «Bal kädi» or honey pumpkin and the «Palow kädi» or butternut squash.

Vendors from the Ruhubelent etrap praise the fruits they bring to the markets. However, this is not surprising - a significant portion of melon harvest of the region is grown annually on the virgin lands of the etrap. This year, the farmers in the Shavat etrap also exceeded their production targets, harvesting 4,810 tons of produce and consistently achieving good results thanks to their skill. Melon growers of the Koneurgench etrap and the S.Turkmenbashy etrap are also major producers of vitamin products in the region.

Overall, local farmers annually obtain at least 200 centners of harvest from each hectare of land. They successfully use the experience of cultivation accumulated over the years and strive to actively implement modern scientific recommendations.

In recent years, it has been particularly noticeable that farmers in the velayat are responding quickly to consumer demand, striving to grow more of the melon, watermelon, and pumpkin varieties that are in demand by consumers. Local scientists, working on developing new varieties of sweet products, are also making a significant contribution to the further development of the industry.
