Local Organic Papaya (600g)

Hong Kong Organic Papaya generally refers to a specific papaya variety that is grown locally in Hong Kong under strict organic certification.

It is not only a flagship product of Hong Kong's local organic agriculture but also represents the dedicated efforts of local farmers to combat genetic contamination and uphold traditional farming practices. 

• Strong Disease Resistance: It effectively resists the devastating Papaya Ringspot Virus (PRSV) , a disease that plagues papaya growers worldwide.

• Excellent Quality: The taste is sweet and delicious, with vibrant orange-red flesh, indicating high levels of natural antioxidants like lycopene.

• Early Maturity and High Productivity: It has a short growth cycle, with harvests ready in about 7 to 8 months after transplanting.

In Hong Kong, for a papaya to be labeled "organic," it must be certified by a local authoritative body.

• Core Certification Body: The Hong Kong Organic Resource Centre Certification Limited (HKORC-Cert) is the primary organic certification organization. Farms and products that obtain their certification can legally use the organic label.

• Strict Cultivation Guidelines: The center has specifically developed "Organic Papaya Cultivation Guidelines" , which require farmers to strictly adhere to organic production standards.

"Hong Kong Organic Papaya" is a microcosm of local organic agriculture. It not only represents the excellent flavor of the "Red Lady" variety but also embodies the relentless efforts of local farmers who, under strict standards, work tirelessly to combat genetic contamination and uphold the principles of organic farming.
