The melon variety exported in Korea is Musk melon, and the melon type is Earl’s melon. The sugar level is usually 12 to 13 brix, and when consumers eat it, it's about 15 to 17 brix. Melons have a relatively long shelf life than other fruits, so if melons are refrigerated, they can usually be sold for about two weeks after arrival.
