Many of the minor tropical fruits are completely unknown to consumers living in temperate climates. With the interest in exotic and unusual products growing in the more developed countries, real potential exists to cultivate an export market based on the production of tropical fruits. This paper examines five important topics which must be addressed both separately and concomitantly in order to build a successful export industry: (i) genetic resources; (ii) nursery production; (iii) production systems; (iv) postharvest; (v) marketing. The paper goes on to look at production of a selection of tropical fruits: lychee, rambutan, mangosteen, longan, carambola, and durian.
