Papayas are an excellent source of nutrients and vitamins. And
it’s quite easy to grow them, if you’re in a tropical or sub-tropical
climate.
The business is perennially flourishing and is
even increasing in profit nowadays because people are beginning to be
health conscious. So starting a papaya farm is a fruitful enterprise
that you can rely on for constant profit.
The papaya (fruit of Carica papaya) is a tropical plant usually grown
in tropical climates such as Mexico, California or any of the
equatorial countries. It is a popular fruit in those countries as they
have numerous health benefits that have been proven and tested by
various scientific researches and findings. The papaya business has been
a perennial source of income for the farmers in the countries that grow
them. It even had increased revenue when people started buying green
products and foods.
Papaya Farm Clients
The most usual
clients of the papaya farms are the people themselves. They buy papayas
directly from the farms in the knowledge that those bought in the farms
are fresher and healthier than those bought in the markets. However
there is a niche in the papaya that papaya farmers usually tend to
forget or haven’t have had any access to. This niche is the medicinal
industry. There are many companies that use papayas or derivatives of it
to makes soaps, tablets, medicines and the like as an herbal supplement
to foods. Although most business still has pending scientific
adjudication on their products, it proves as a boom to the papaya
industry. This niche alone contributes more than $100 million to the
industry.
Advertising Papayas
The papaya business, because
of its silent popularity with the masses, doesn’t really need much
advertising. However, since you are to start a new business,
it would be good to advertise at your local area first. Do it the
traditional way, like flyers or free tasting of the papaya at the local
markets. Advertise at the local newspapers.
Where to Start the Papaya Business
It
is impossible for papayas to survive in climates that aren’t tropical.
That is why it is suggested simply that if you want to start the papaya
farming, do it in a tropical climate, like California,
New Mexico, Texas, or any of the adjacent states that don’t have snow.
If outside the country, do them in the tropical countries, like those in
Southeast Asia, Central and Southern America. Location is a key factor
in the papaya farming. Even though it may take you some time for the plant to
grow, remember that the investment you give will be recuperated in a
short time only, as the time it takes for the papaya to grow is
significantly faster than the other farming plants.
Start up Cost of Papaya Farm
It doesn’t take that much for the
business to start. Your first asset to purchase is obviously the land,
which must be good, so don’t scrimp on the land. The price might be
steep but remember that the land is very important for the plant. There
are other costs, but one must remember that these will be recuperated in
a short time.
