Tender boost
Papaya production on the Fiji Islands has steadily increased from 400 t in 1992 to more than 2,600 t in 2000. The pink fleshed Sunrise Solo is an especially popular exportable variety. The construction of a heat treatment facility for meeting pest free export standards has boosted production. The fruits are exported fresh, dried and as paste. Latex from unripe fruits is processed locally into papain, which is widely used as a meat tenderiser.
