Overview of Fruit Production

Fruit crops can be grouped into two:

Fruit produced all year round (e.g Banana,

Guava, Coconut, etc.)

Seasonal fruit (e.g Mango, Cashew nut, Durain,

Dragon fruit etc.)

Fruit production mainly targeted for domestic

consumption

Mango, Plum, Watermelon and Muskmelon are

exported to China by means of border trade

Fruits Production

Trees grown at 20°C days/15°C nights (20/15°C) required 20 weeks

(Ramirez and Davenport, 2010)

To complete a growth/dormancy cycle while at 30/25°C the same cycle was completed in 6 weeks (mean of ten cultivars)

(Ramirez and Davenport, 2010)
