Indonesia Claims World's Largest Melon

JAKARTA, INDONESIA: A group of Indonesian farmers from the main island of Java have grown a melon weighing more than four kilograms that the country's record house claimed Friday (November 23rd) was the world's largest.

"The honey-globe melon weighed 4.26 kilogrammes. We claim it to be the largest in the world," director of Indonesia's Museum of Records (MURI) Paulus Pangka told AFP.

"We have carried out a survey and found no other melon with such weight," he said, clarifying that the fruit was not to be confused with a watermelon.

The melon sold at auction for eight million rupiah. A regular melon would normally weigh about two kilogrammes and sell in Indonesia for around 20,000 rupiah.
