We adhere to rigorous export standards, and our team of experienced professionals is committed to providing you with the best possible pawpaw fruits.
Appearance and Colour: Pawpaws have a fleshy berry-like appearance and range from oval to nearly spherical. The skin is smooth green when unripe and turns to a yellow or orange hue as they ripen. However, depending on the variety, some may remain greenish even when fully ripened. Whatever the specification you quote in your order, FrutPlanet delivers. We priorities your fruit’s freshness and avoids sending fruit that is over-ripe, bruised or has any physical defects.
Fruit Sizes and Weight: A typical pawpaw fruit can weigh 9 to 11.5 kg. Their sizes vary from small to quite large, averaging about 15 to 45 cm long and 10 to 30 cm in diameter. However, some pawpaw varieties may be smaller than others. For example, pawpaw fruits from a semi-wild (naturalized) pawpaw plant may be 2.5 to 15 cm long. FrutPlanet ensures that the pawpaw fruits we deliver are of the correct size and weight according to the customers’ specifications.
Taste and Flavor: Pawpaws are slightly sweet with a tart aftertaste. However, the flavour can vary from fruit to fruit and even between different parts of the same pawpaw. For example, some people find its flavour reminiscent of cantaloupe, pineapple, or mangoes. Ripe pawpaw fruits are quite musky, while others taste buttery smooth depending on ripeness and variety. On the other hand, unripe pawpaw has more rigid flesh with little to no taste. At FrutPlanet, we focus on delivering the best quality pawpaws. We test our pawpaws for flavour and acidity before shipping them to you to ensure you’re getting a delicious product.
Pawpaw fruits can provide a range of health benefits when consumed as part of a healthy diet, including:
Reduce Cancer Risks: Research suggests that the antioxidants such as lycopene and beta carotene in pawpaw fruit scavenge harmful free radicals that can damage DNA and contribute to the development of cancer cells. Pawpaws are also a good source of vitamin C, which helps fight cancer cells.
Boost Energy Levels: Pawpaw fruit is a high-energy fruit that provides sustained energy due to the papain enzyme found in pawpaws. Papain breaks down proteins so your body can absorb nutrients and build muscle tissue.
Improve Memory and Cognitive Function: Several studies have shown that people who consume large amounts of beta carotene (a type of carotenoid) have a reduced risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
Boost Cardiovascular Health: Pawpaw fruit is a good source of heart-healthy antioxidants, including vitamins A and C, which are linked to reducing the risk of heart disease and damage to the artery walls. The antioxidants also boost the protective roles of “good” HDL cholesterol and decrease the risk of “bad” LDL cholesterol.
Improve Digestion: Pawpaw fruits are an excellent dietary fibre source that stimulates gut bacteria and combats constipation. They also contain papain enzymes that improve digestion and make pawpaw used as a meat tenderizer. In addition, the carpaine antioxidant in pawpaw seeds kills bacteria and parasites in the intestines and thus promotes a healthier digestive system.
Reduce Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is a hallmark of many diseases, including cancer. Papaya fruit contains high carotenoid compounds that inhibit the production of inflammatory prostaglandins, which play a role in the development and progression of inflammation-related diseases.
Good for Skin: Fruits that contain Vitamin C are beneficial for the skin. They are good sources of natural ingredients to help improve skin health, and pawpaws are on the list. The lycopene in pawpaw fruit acts as an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals that can damage skin cells and lead to wrinkles, age spots, and other signs of aging. Research has also shown that supplementing with lycopene for 10-12 weeks can help reduce the appearance of skin redness after exposure to the sun.
Immediately after harvesting, the FrutPlanet quality control team inspects the pawpaws for defects and discards the damaged and diseased ones. We then classify fresh pawpaws that meet the grading criteria according to their colour and size. The size codes range from A-J, with the average weight ranging from 200-300 grams (Size A) to over 2000 grams (Size J).
Ideally, we pack pawpaws in single-layer fiberboard boxes with a protective lining between fruits to ensure they remain fresh and safe during transit, handling, and storage. However, the packaging criteria may differ based on the pawpaws’ features, the customer, and the market segment. Regardless of the packaging, FrutPlanet always takes a proactive and preventive approach to keep the fruit fresh until it reaches our customers.
We label the package in accordance with the name of the product, variety, packer and shipper, country of origin, and commercial specifications such as size, class, net weight, and number of units.
We Give Back: FrutPlanet commits 10% of its annual net sales to charity organisations and initiatives that support sustainable agriculture, nutritionism, and environmental conservation.
We Promise Quality: Quality assurance is a top priority at FrutPlanet, and we continuously work to improve the quality of our products. Our export standards are among the highest in the industry. Additionally, all of our pawpaw suppliers undergo a rigorous quality control program that includes inspections for the presence of pests or diseases and physical and chemical tests.
Committed to Customer Satisfaction: We understand that satisfaction is our customers’ ultimate goal. To achieve it, our customer support team works closely with our customers to ensure their needs are met. In addition, we work closely with quality assurance organizations to ensure that all of our pawpaw products meet or exceed the required standards.
Organic and GMO-Free Pawpaws: At FrutPlanet, we prioritise the health of our customers. We source only organically grown pawpaws, which are free of pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and other chemicals. In addition, all of our pawpaw fruits are GMO-free.

Pears Farming in Kenya
Pear farming started in China around 2000 BC and spread to other parts of the world. Pears found their way into Kenya in the 1920s through Christian missionaries from the United Kingdom. The missionaries settled in Kenya as early as 1844, but they started growing pears in the 1920s. The pears were first introduced in Limuru, an area with excellent climatic conditions.
In a few decades, you could find commercial pear production in different regions, such as Nyeri, Kiambu, Meru, and Naivasha. Today, Kenya is one of Africa’s leading producers of pears, exporting thousands of tonnes worth millions of dollars. According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) 2021 Survey, the export value of pears and other fresh fruits reached US$26.2 million in early 2021.

Tomato Farming In Kenya
Most tomato varieties have originated from the South American Andes region, where they had been cultivated for centuries. Over the years, explorers in the 16th century distributed the tomato fruit worldwide. On the other hand, some varieties are native to regions such as Africa and Asia, although they have been modified scientifically over time to boost yield. Cross-breeding of these varieties mainly occurred during global trade and colonisation.
Kenya’s commercialisation of tomatoes started in the mid-90s, amongst other fruits and horticultural crops. Tomatoes commercialisation thrived after the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation (KALRO) was formed. The organisation foresaw the production of approximately 400,000 tonnes of tomatoes a year after its formation. Today most Kenyan tomato farms are in Narok, Laikipia, Murang’a, some parts of Embu and Kirinyaga, Kajiado, and Makueni.

It’s a powerhouse of vitamins like vitamins A, B2, C, and E that enhance immunity. Vitamin C maintains healthy skin by protecting cells from damage and wrinkles.

FrutPlanet is a global exporter of fruits, vegetables, spices, and more. One of the fruits we export is pineapples.
Colour: At the top of our consideration is the colour of the pineapple. Usually, fresh pineapple fruits have healthy green leaves and a greenish-yellow hue. A pineapple changes from green to yellow as it ripens; the yellow colouring indicates that the fruit is ripe. The FrutPlanet team is keen on the colour of the fruit before harvest.
Shell: Our experts have been examining fruits for years, therefore, accumulated a lot of experience. One quick feature that we examine is the texture of its skin or shell. A mature and ripe pineapple has a firm but soft shell. It can hardly squeeze because the fibre is mature and full of juice. FrutPlanet commits to delivering only quality pineapples.
Smell: A ripe, good-tasting fresh pineapple fruit has a unique scent. The smell is similar to a ripe mango fruit but a little distinguished. The smell often emanates from the lower bottom of the fruit. Otherwise, you’re less likely to feel any smell if the fruit is not ripe. Our team is obsessed with the scent of ripe pineapple and can easily set them apart. Be sure to receive fresh, unique-smelling fruits.
Size and Weight: Without a doubt, the ripe fresh pineapple fruit is heavier because of the enormous juice it possesses. When harvesting the fruits, our team takes critical notice of the weight of the fruit and its comparative size. We are keen on your specifications at this point. Some of our clients love medium but heavy pineapples. You can state your specifications by requesting a quote.

Where is Guava From?
Guava fruits originated from Central and South America. In Kenya, Africa, guavas weren’t grown commercially until recently. Kenya’s major guava growing areas include Elgeyo-Marakwet, Kakamega, Uasin-Gishu, Kwale, Kilifi, Meru, Homabay, Siaya, Vihiga, Mombasa, Kitui, and Taita Taveta among others.
In partnership with USAID, Kenya Agricultural & Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) has distributed over 55,000 guava fruit seedlings. The partnership aims to empower Busia county farmers and increase guava fruit production in Kenya. The plant performs well in dry and agroecological regions, which explains why KARLO and other organisations are encouraging it.
Types of Guava fruits
In Kenya, there are two predominant types of guava fruits. They are classified in terms of the colour of their flesh and skin. The types of guava fruits include red or pink, and white. Red or pink guava fruit has juice, less sugar, and less starch content. They are often less seeded or seedless. White guava fruit has more sugar, more starch content and more seeds.
