Romanian watermelons may reach supermarkets in Sweden

The red watermelons produced in the Romanian town of Dabuleni, in Dolj county, may reach supermarkets in Sweden if the talks between a local cooperative and a Swedish buyer are successful, according to news agency Mediafax.

The buyer is only interested in a certain type of melon, of medium size (four to six kilos), according to a spokesperson for the Dabuleni City Hall.

Dabuleni, a town of some 14,000 inhabitants in Southern Romania, has become famous for its melons all over the country. Most of the melons produced here reach markets in Bucharest.
