Paw-paws airborne again?

The Côte d'Ivoire programme for promoting nontraditional exports forecasts that exports of papaya (paw-paw) are set to double, rising from 225 t in 1998 to 500 t in 1999, thanks to cheap cargo charter flights between Yamassoukro and Oostende (Belgium). Not enough papaya is grown in Côte-d'Ivoire to make exports via the sea route cost-effective. Hitherto, the high freight rates charged by major air carriers such as Air France or Air Afrique have put exports out of reach for small operators. As a result, papaya exports fell to virtually zero in 1994. Now they have taken off again.
