      Never knew that.

      Re: Local market
      That does not cut it.
      We need overseas markets

        Karl there is a huge local market in the hotel sector for these fruits. If you take over the local market then you can tackle export. First you have to have some market.

          Sass and Karl - I love the following fruits:

          Naseberry
          Sweetsop
          Custard apple

          Those are my must HAVES when I'm in Jamaica. Yet, I can never get them in any of the hotels I've stayed. WHY?????

                      Mango don't need all the care that other stuff need. The cost that come with Mango is minor as long as you pick them at the right time. You need approved faciltiy but no processing.

                        Desapping, cleaning and washing, hot-water fungicidal dipping,
                        grading and irradiation. You haven't yet factored in transport from harvest to certified packing house. Washing has to be done with potable water. There is no way Jamaica can compete on price based on all of these energy intensive factors.

                                put it this way. Canning Callalloo is more energy and labour intensive and they sell for about the same price.
