Production
The main commercial product is the Pococí hybrid papaya. The quality of this papaya is recognized both nationally and internationally.
Our plantings are supervised under strict controls, with good agricultural practices and the use of permitted inputs for the production of papaya. Likewise, the State phytosanitary service frequently audits the crops of our associates; With this, our client or the end consumer can be sure that they are consuming fresh fruit that is free of harmful agents for their health. We also have the Blue Flag award.
We have the experience that the international market requires, from the planting and packing process, to logistics. For export, we pack according to the client’s specifications regarding sizes, weight of boxes and quality.
Poccocí: “Right now with irrigation, with the way of working and the UCR investigations that have been carried out, we have hectares that are yielding 200,000-250,000 kilos in one year, while the normal was 80,000 or 100,000 kilos. It’s something incredible and the Pococí hybrid lends itself to that. ” -Víctor Carvajal Campos, General Manager of Coopeparrita Tropical, R.L.
“My father planted a little bit of Pococí and saw that people accepted it well, so the following year he planted about 40% and so on until we removed the creole and we were left with Pococí alone.” – Gustavo Barrientos Gómez, Farmer and President Coopeparrita Tropical, R.L.
Iuve: “It is a low-growing variety that will benefit us for better harvest management, and it also has excellent uniformity that adapts to the specifications of the international market sizes, this gives us better performance in the process of export.” – Alberto Cerdas Ríos, Head of Production Coopeparrita Tropical, R.L.
