- Papaya is produced in
about 60 countries, with the vast majority being grown in developing
economies
- Gaining in popularity
worldwide, papaya is now ranked as the third most traded tropical
fruit (excluding bananas), behind mangoes and pineapples
- The United States is
by far the largest papaya importer, absorbing more than half of the
global imports
- The leading varieties
of fresh papayas available in market are the Solo, Solo Sunrise,
Golden and Formosa.
- Papayas are most
frequently consumed fresh in slices or chunks, as well as in fruit
compotes.
- Papayas are divided
into three classes: Extra Class, Class I and Class II. For the
different classes of
papayas, one can follow the standard in the Codex Alimentarius, the
‘food code’ of the World Health
Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)
of the United Nations
- Papayas are known to
be difficult to handle, due to their relatively short shelf life and
delicateness.
- The fruit bruises
easily, and its storage temperature should be maintained at 10
degrees Celsius to
prevent over-ripening due to heat and decay due to cold temperatures
- Packaging requirements
differ by customer and market segment. They must at least be packed
in such a way as to ensure proper protection for the produce. The
packaging should be new, clean and of sufficient quality to prevent
damage to the product
- Consumer package
labelling must be in accordance with the rules and regulations that
apply in the
foreign market. Labels may not contain any toxic ink or glue.
- Germany and the
Netherlands are leading importers of fresh papayas, and also show
the highest
import growth. A large share of German import takes place through
the Netherlands, which
explains the high import figures for both countries. This means that
the Netherlands is a trade hub for papayas, while Germany as well as
the United Kingdom, Spain and Portugal are the main destination
countries.
- Fresh papayas on the
European market are primarily exported by Brazil
- India is the largest
producer of papayas in the world. Almost all of its production is
intended for its domestic market.
- For countries where
the lead time is too large, papayas have to be air
freighted, which can drive up the price significantly.
- Papaya consumption in
Europe is not yet as common as in most tropical countries, but it is
gradually increasing. Developments in better logistics, convenience
such as ready-to-eat, and increased product promotion contribute to
its growth and make
papaya an interesting supplement to more well-known tropical fruit.
- Exporters have to deal
with strong competition from Brazil and excel in quality and product
handling to export to Europe successfully
