[BITList] Exploding watermelons put spotlight on Chinese farming practices | Environment | The Guardian

[Michael Feltham]

My last Company was Chinese.  I used to go ashore a lot in China to local markets.  The Chinese wouldn't let fruit ripen before they picked them.  You would get hard peaches etc.  Mind you the shops do that in the Uk, the bananas are green and not fit to eat for a few days.
