Market

4th most popular tropics fruit
80% of Hawaiian are Genetically

altered

Exported Globally (India is the top

producer)

$1.30/lb fresh and $4.57/lb dried
Picked green or when starting to

ripen

Green variety used as a meat

tenderizer

Seeds are used in dressings

Sustainability?

Genetic modification has saved Hawaiian and crop and allows easier

shipment to U.S. market.

Seeds are easy to germinate and require little space
Trees are usually short lived and are constantly being replaced due to lack
f fruit production
Many use old plants for rope production and leaves for soap

Pests/Treatment

Papaya Ringspot Virus: Yellowing of veins on leaves and dark green

circular marks on fruit that layer become grey. Impact growth and quality

f fruit.

○ Only known cure is through modification

Papaya Mosaic Virus: affects leaves and fruit. Dark green rings
Anthracnose: brown spots with pink spores that soften fruit.

○ Some Fungicides but killing the plant is only real option

Papaya Fruit Fly: lay eggs inside fruit and larvae eat seeds and interior and

then leave to pupate into adults.

○ Chemical control and Predatory wasps
