Prospects for marketing tropical fruits in Asia.

ABSTRACT

A wide range of tropical fruits is grown in Asia to satisfy traditional local and nearby regional demand. With the exception of bananas and pineapples, the international trade in these fruits has been slow to develop. There are many reasons for this, including the quarantine restrictions that apply to fruit imports. This paper analyses and assesses the existing international trade in tropical fruits in Asia in some detail, including the potentially lucrative markets of North Asia where the climate restricts the production of tropical fruits. New developments in postharvest treatments, packaging and disinfestation are looked at from a commercial viewpoint, and strategies to assist the development of trade in tropical fruit are discussed.
