The support came as the Vietnam’s agricultural exports are facing difficulties due to the acute respiratory disease caused by the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV).
The farm produce will be distributed free of charge in Ha Noi starting at 9am on February 11. Each person will receive up to two fruits, said the embassy.
People coming for the watermelon are advised to prepare their own bags in a bid to protect the environment.
