Wholesale Watermelon & Melon Suppliers
Watermelons represent a $33.9 billion global wholesale market, and the broader melon category (cantaloupe, honeydew, Galia, Piel de Sapo, and specialty varieties) adds further significant value. China produces approximately 79% of global watermelon production but most is consumed domestically. Turkey, Iran, Brazil, USA, Mexico, and Spain are the major export origins. Melons and watermelons are warm-season crops with well-defined seasonal supply windows; year-round availability for northern hemisphere buyers requires sourcing from multiple origins.
