Description
Fresh Sri Lankan papaya (Carica papaya) in two forms: Red Lady, a red-fleshed variety picked to ripen for eating fresh, and green papaya, known in Sri Lanka as curry papaya, picked unripe for cooking, salads and pickles. Packed in cartons and shipped chilled in reefer containers.
Where it sells
Red Lady papaya goes to fruit importers, supermarkets, hotels and juice bars. Green papaya is bought by grocers and restaurants serving South Asian and South-East Asian cooking.
Handling
Ripening papaya and green papaya need different picking stages and handling, so tell us which you need and the ripeness you want on arrival. Count per carton and fruit size are confirmed with the quote.
How to buy: request a quote with variety, quantity, packing and destination port. We confirm a firm price, packing, lead time and validity in writing, FOB Colombo or CIF/CFR to your port. Samples can be arranged before a first order.
Full or shared reefer containers
Buyers who are not ready for a full container can combine this with other chilled Sri Lankan produce, such as king coconuts, papaya and cassava, in one reefer.
What to tell us for a quote
- Quantity per shipment and how often you buy
- Preferred packing (carton or bag size)
- Destination port and the cold store or distributor at your end
- Any import requirements in your country, such as a phytosanitary certificate
Availability, packing and lead time are confirmed by our suppliers with each quotation and are not fixed in advance.
