estimated at 6 million tonnes of fruits. India leads the world in papaya
production with an annual output of about 3 million tonnes.

3. Area & Production
• The area under papaya cultivation in India increased by 63% from 45.2
thousand ha. in 1991-92 to 73.7 thousand ha. in 2007-08 and the
production increased from 8 lakh tones to 26 lakh tones. Papaya is mostly
cultivated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka, Gujarat,
Orissa, West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.

Agricultural Research Institute Regional Station, Pusa, Bihar, with an
objective to breed the varieties of uniform, high yielding with better
quality for wider adaptability.

9. Storage ,Transportation
• Fruits are highly perishable in nature. They can be stored
for a period of 1-6 weeks at a temperature of 10-130 C and
85-90% relative humidity.
• Road transport by trucks/lorries is the most
convenient mode of transport due to easy approach

10. FOR PACKING OF PAPAYA :
• The packaging systems is evaluated in terms of physical protection, heat
transfer characteristics for rapid cooling and maintaining optimum
temperature and relative humidity during post-harvest and quality
maintenance. foam nets and paper-based wrap materials, were also
compared. Minimized mechanical injuries resulted in a decreased
susceptibility to decay and bruising. Paper-based cushions showed similar
protection to plastic foam nets materials but offered a better ripening
response for papayas
