A pair of Japanese melons auctioned for Rs 39 lakh

According to the details, in some Japanese areas it is customary to auction the first fruits of the new crop every year, which are usually bought at very high prices.

Prior to the Corona epidemic, the first melon of the first crop of the year was auctioned for a record 5 million yen (about 7.1 million Pakistani rupees), but last year due to the global corona epidemic, melons were only 120,000 yen (about The auction could be held for only Rs.170000).

That's why Japanese farmers are delighted with the auction of a pair of melons at 2.7 million yen this year, calling it a sign of economic recovery in the country.

The highest bidder at this year's auction is a local industrialist who owns a company that makes food products for newborns.

The auctioning of a pair of melons for 22 times more than last year is also being hailed as "positive news" for the Japanese economy, which is also a good omen for farmers.
