About 1,000 boxes with papaya of the tainung variety will be sent to Canada by the Panama Squash company, which would become the second Panamanian exporter of this product, which begins operations in that demanding market.
This item has been harvested at the Don Danny farm, which is located in the Barú district, Chiriquí province and represents about 16,363 kilograms of this fruit, which will be transported on 18 pallets.
The producer Tony Malca indicated that every 15 days he could be exporting a container of this product, which contributes to generating about 80 jobs in the Barouan sector and to keeping the supply stable at the national level.
