The international papaya market sees limited suppliers, with India being the largest producer but contributing minimally to exports. Mexico, Brazil, and Guatemala are the primary exporters, each targeting different markets. The annual trade volume is around 350,000 to 375,000 tons, which is less than 3% of the global production. The export value was 280 million euros in the last year, while imports were 340 million euros. The United States and EU are the major importers, with the EU importing nearly 40,000 tons from Brazil and the US importing over 200,000 tons mainly from Mexico. Despite challenges like reduced exports from Brazil in 2022 due to adverse conditions, the industry remains important. Southeast Asia also contributes to the market, with India exporting to Nepal, Malaysia to Singapore, and Sri Lanka's exports on the rise.
