Mawlamyine, Hpa-an, and Thaton lead orders for Popa’s guavas

Tasty and crispy guavas produced from the Popa area have been ordered chiefly from Mawlamyine, Hpa-an and Thaton, according to fruit market sources.
Popa’s guava is one of the most consumed tasty fruits in Myanmar.
“We deliver to Yangon and Mandalay. More people eat Popa’s fruits. Its price is higher than others. With more consumption, its trade is better. We deliver at most 50 to 60 bags at a time. But, as it is comparatively cheaper than other fruits, there is more consumption. Sales are brisk. We mainly send it to Mawlamyine, Hpa-an, and Thaton. We also send it to Yangon and Mandalay if there are orders,” said a Popa’s guava retail/wholesale shop owner from Kyaukpadaung.
In addition, Yangon people eat more Popa’s guavas as they are sweeter, crispier and more tasty than other guavas.
“The taste of other kinds of guavas is less tasty. This one is crispy. It is better to eat it after making the salad. This is grown in our areas. It is produced in all seasons. Only the yield differs. Now it is plenty, but the price is good with many supplies,” she added. — Thit Taw/ZN/ED
