Conteúdo: | The passion-fruit is extremely important in Brazil. Its fruits are rich in mineral salts and vitamins, especially A and C, and its juice has a wonderful aroma and flavor. It is widely accepted in different markets and there is a large potencial for exports, not to mention its pharmacological properties. In Brazil, the passion-fruit vine is cultivated predominantly in small orchards, on average 1.0 to 4.0 ha, and is an important source of income for small to medium producers. Brazil is the world's foremost producer of passion-fruit, with about 90% of the producion, followed by Peru, Venezuela, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Australia. Brazilian production is around 478,000 mt with a yield of about 13.8 mt/ha. The northen and north-eastern regions of the country are responsible for more than 80% of the national production. In Brazil, the passion-fruit is used primarily for fresh consumption and the production of juice, which is also exported. For Brazilian exporters, the principal market is Europe, which imports more than 90% of the juice. However, there ar very good prospects in the American, Canadian and Japanese markets.
