The growth of Ethiopia watermelon dates back to the mid 20th century when East Shoa (Shewa) farmers utilized the waters of Lake Koka for growing the nutritious fruit. This fruit-farming area lies in the central part of the agricultural Oromia zone that also produces tropical fruits like strawberries. To date, the region serves as the mere production area thanks to a man from Italy who brought the seeds in that the place, around 1950.

Description

The Ethiopia climate provides the best grounds for planting the crop as it can survive in warm temperatures of at least 21 degrees celsius. The fruit needs a lengthy season that runs for a minimum eighty days, or at most 3 months. The Ethiopia watermelon is usually ready for harvesting in 3 to 4 months.

Because we understand that watermelons are sweetest at the moment of picking, we ensure that our sources only harvest them when they are just about to ripen. They contain no extra starch upon harvest and thus the need to pick them when they are just mature. The best signs to look for are usually a yellowish ring at the lower parts of the gourd-like striped fruit. If the bottom section is still green even when pressed, it is then immature and not ready for harvesting. It is also characteristic of a mature watermelon to be dull in the skin compared to the brilliant green tinge when it is still developing
