The embassies of Qatar and Kuwait have purchased six tonnes of watermelons to help farmers in the central region of Vietnam.

The move came as Vietnam’s agricultural exports are facing difficulties due to coronavirus.

The farm produce was then distributed free of charge to people in Hanoi on February 11-12.

Each person was given up to two watermelons.


Secretary of the Embassy of Qatar Dang Thi Thanh Hai said that this was the idea of Ambassador Mohamed Al-Emadi. After knowing about the decline in agricultural exports to China, he decided to buy four tonnes of watermelons from Gia Lai farmers.
