Papayas offer not only the delicious taste and sunlit color of the tropics, but are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as Carotenes, Vitamin C and B.
The development of the Papaya Hybrid “Pococí” is unique in the world, and has come to solve production problems since it has a great smell, flavor and texture. This has led to an increase in demand in countries such as Canada, Spain, Belgium and some others.
Papaya is susceptible to a relatively large number of pests and diseases.

Distant. Once the papaya is packed, it is stored at temperatures
between 12-14 ° C. This temperature should be maintained until
arrival at the destination market, without interrupting the process of
cold storage. An increase in temperature by any
reason, it would generate an increase in the respiration of the fruit and the
condensation of water on it, which would trigger
premature ripening.
The fruit should be left to dry for later place a protective mesh, in order to avoid hits. After this it is packed in a box of paperboard. It should be placed in a single layer, putting the pedicle base in contact with the base of the box and making sure it is as fixed as possible.
