Caidian Melons

Caidian Melons is a Geographical Indication Certification trademark.

　　Caidian District has been developing its melon industry for 14 years, with a total cultivation area of 48,000 mu, accounting for 70% of Wuhan’s early-season melon market. Caidian melons have been awarded a National Geographical Indication Certification trademark.

　　The term "melons" refers to a collective name for extra-sweet small watermelons and thick-skinned sweet melons. Biologically speaking, watermelons and melons are strictly distinct, and experts would not dare to combine the two varieties under one name. However, at the time, Caidian District introduced these two varieties from Japan and South Korea. To facilitate promotion, it pioneered the collective term "melons" nationwide, making it a distinctive product of Wuhan.
