Abstract：Myanmar’s watermelon and melon are an important source of income for local farmers and play a crucial role in ensuring the supply for China’s winter and spring melon market．They also represent agricultural cooperation among countries along the Belt and Road Initiative．Myanmar’s climate is suitable for the cultivation of high-quality watermelon and melon，and it complements China’s climate well，allowing for off -season production．The total cost of planting watermelon and melon in Myanmar ranges from 4 700 to 7 300 yuan per 667 m2，with the highest production cost still being 2 700 yuan lower than in Hainan，China．However，for Chinese melon traders and farmers to enter Myanmar and engage in watermelon and melon production independently poses significant risks．It is recommended to adopt strategies such as conducting border market transactions，entrusting production，or investing in companies with production experience and a foundation in Myanmar．Both China and Myanmar should jointly promote the development of the watermelon and melon industry in Myanmar by introducing not just individual melon varieties and production techniques from China，but also a complete set of methods and plans，which would eventually lead to the transition to China’s technical standards in the melon industry，thereby gradually enhancing the level of Myanmar’s watermelon and melon industry．
