Greater volume of imported papaya on the way
Supplies of imported papaya are likely to soon start increasing.
“The supplies of papaya have been steady. It was a little low at the start of the year,” says Edgar Millan of Caraveo Papayas in the Bronx, NY. “But as the weather gets better and the days get longer, we start having a little bit more product to harvest and that helps. This started just a few weeks ago.” He adds that when the temperature drops, papaya doesn’t ripen making it difficult to harvest. “But now everybody is getting more volume and shipping more.”
