In 2018, papaya exports rose substantially, reflecting dynamism in foreign trade, and this trend continued into 2019 when exports reached 19 087 kg. Consequently, the market size fell to 70 003 kg in 2019, despite stable production volumes around 88 000-89 000 kg.

The market rebounded from 2020 onward as exports dropped sharply to 3 904 kg that year, allowing domestic consumption to expand to 86 316 kg. Production continued a gradual upward trend, reaching 91 050 kg by 2021, while the market size stabilized around 86 000-87 000 kg through 2021.
