Farmers in Luonan County, Shaanxi Province, are worried that no one will buy their watermelons this summer.

The melons are now ripe, but none have been ordered due to increasing shipment costs as a result of soaring petrol prices.

It will only take 15 days for the fruit to rot if it cannot be sold.
