From the US watermelon market, personal watermelons currently account for about 15% and the percentage is steadily increasing.

Recently, mini-watermelons have been capturing a market share away from the similar sized, regular melons. Among the reasons for this impressive growth are consumer enjoyment of the truly delicious taste and convenience of the mini-watermelon, as well as the fact that American families are getting smaller.

A global leader in the seed industry, Hazera Company forecast this trend and offers its customers a range of mini-seedless watermelons of all sizes and textures, with the promise of more to come. In addition to the popular Ocelot, Hazera offers a winning selection of various sizes to meet customer requirements and diverse growing conditions.

Some of Hazera’s wide selection of Personal Watermelon varieties are,
1. Lynx (2-4 Ibs) - It is a micro watermelon noted for its excellent internal quality and attractive flesh colour.

2. The popular Ocelot (3-5 lbs) - It is with its exceptional qualities, high Brix level and deep red internal colour.

3. Serval (4-5 Ibs) - It is a mini- watermelon with excellent uniformity and flesh colour.

4. Mielheart (4-6 Ibs) - It is with its good performance in cooler conditions and dark red flesh.

5. Leopard (5-7 lbs) - It is a variety with high yields, well adapted to hot growing conditions and is noted for its long shelf life.

6. Extazy (5-7 lbs) - It is a variety with firm and crunchy flesh, attractively red inside, with high yields and Extra-long Shelf life.

7. Tigris (5-9 Ibs) - It is a variety which has a very attractive appearance, an excellent rind/flesh ratio and a deep red internal colour.

Over the coming year, Hazera plans to launch two new mini-watermelon varieties:
1. HA50024 (4-6 lbs) - It is a variety with high uniformity and high internal quality

2. HA50025 (5-7 lbs) - It is a superior tasting, high yield variety.

These both varieties have, as is true of all Hazera mini-watermelons, an intense red colour and a very long shelf life. Hazera also offers seeds of mini-watermelon varieties that also serve as pollinators.
