Papaya Crop Up On MonthWASHINGTON - Dec 11/08 - SNS -- Hawaii fresh papaya production is estimated at 2.97 million pounds for October 2008, up 21% from September but 11% lower than a year ago, according to the latest USDA crop production estimates. Total crop acreage for October is estimated at 2,210 acres, relatively unchanged from September but up 5% from October 2007. Harvested area totaled 1,350 acres, up 5% from the previous month but 12% lower than October 2007. Weather conditions during October were mostly sunny, but heavy rains fell in parts of the State around mid-month helping to replenish soil moisture levels in those areas.

Large fields were being cleared for replanting. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
