Red Watermelon Price per Kilo: FAMA Reference and Quote Comparison
Decision details
Fits if: Buyers who want a dated benchmark before comparing a shop price or bulk quotation.
Main drawback: The available reading is specifically for seedless red watermelon and is dated 29/9/2026; it does not set today's local price.
Compare: Match fruit type, date, sale basis and net weight; compare the amount paid per kilogram.
For red watermelon price per kilo, the available FAMA reading is RM3.81/kg for seedless red watermelon, a national average dated 29 September 2026 [source]. The date matters: this is not today’s shop quotation. FAMA describes its guide as general wholesale and public-market guidance, not FAMA’s purchase price [source].
| Basis | Available information | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| FAMA guide | Seedless red watermelon: RM3.81/kg, national average, 29/9/2026 [source] | Check the latest dated guide; this is neither FAMA’s purchase price nor an offer to sell. |
| Shop or supplier quotation | No current local price has been verified on this page. | Ask for the date, type (seeded/seedless), seller's grade, net weight, per-kilo or per-fruit basis, and any delivery charge. |
Compare a per-kilo price with a per-fruit offer
Ask for the actual fruit weight and final amount payable. For a per-fruit offer, divide the amount by the weight in kilograms to calculate the equivalent cost per kg. Use the same fruit type for both offers and state whether delivery is included. If the seller does not give a weight or grade, record that as a difference between offers instead of assuming the fruit is equivalent.
The FAMA row recorded here is for seedless red watermelon; it does not provide a separate reading for seeded red watermelon [source]. Therefore RM3.81/kg cannot support a claim that seeded fruit is cheaper or seedless fruit costs more. Get a current quotation for the type you plan to buy.
Illustrative calculation only, not a market price: RM15 ÷ 4 kg = RM3.75/kg. Use this worksheet for a per-fruit offer: write the seller’s actual amount, weigh the fruit in kilograms, then divide amount by kilograms. Record delivery separately and add it to the amount before comparing delivered cost per kg. The calculation is only meaningful when fruit type, grade, sale date and weight basis match.
A simple quote worksheet
| Check | FAMA reference | Seller quote A | Seller quote B |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fruit type (seeded or seedless) | Seedless red | ____ | ____ |
| Quote/guide date | 29 Sep 2026 | ____ | ____ |
| Sale basis (per kg or per fruit) | Per kg | ____ | ____ |
| Net weight in kg | — | ____ | ____ |
| Fruit amount and delivery | — | ____ | ____ |
| Delivered total ÷ net kg | RM3.81/kg reference | ____ | ____ |
For a per-kilo offer, note whether the listed rate includes delivery and whether the seller weighs the fruit before payment. For a per-fruit offer, use the measured weight, not an assumed average. If the seller cannot provide a weight, keep that quote separate rather than converting it. A lower calculated figure is useful only after the fruit type and sale conditions match. The FAMA reference is dated and national; it cannot settle a local shop’s current price. Check the latest dated guide before using it as a comparison point. [source] [source]
