High in Vitamin C, papaya is indigenous to tropical America (ARC, 2005). This fruit, initially brought to the attention of Europe around 1520, was introduced to South Africa in seed form by Jan van Riebeeck in 1652, but only grown commercially in the Lowveld of Mpumalanga for the first time in the early 20th century by a Captain Elphick (ARC, 2005). Papaya needs relatively little water in the rainy summer season in South Africa, but if irrigated every 2 weeks in the dry season it is well adapted to hot, dry areas as the fruit then matures early and is then highly palatable owing to its high sugar content (Smith, 1998). Papaya has high heat requirements, with average daily temperatures for optimum growth between 20 and 30 degree Celsius. Determination of climatically optimum growth areas for Papaya in South Africa is based on the expert knowledge of Bower (2005) and Moll (2005), climatically optimum growth areas were determined according to the four basic criteria: Criterion 1: Heat units (base 12 degree Celsius) should exceed 2 000 days per annum, Criterion 2: Optimum areas should have a low frequency of 4 consecutive days with maximum temperatures > 36 degree Celsius, Criterion 3: Monthly means of daily average temperatures in December and January should be 23 degree Celsius - 30 degree Celsius and Criterion 4: Optimum growth areas should have a low frequency of 4 consecutive days with minimum temperatures < 17 degree Celsius.

In South Africa passion fruit ideally requires a cool subtropical climate for optimum production (Smith, 1998). The vines prefer moderate temperatures throughout the year, with monthly means of daily maxima < 29 degree Celsius. The plants are sensitive to severe frosts, and monthly means of minimum temperatures should be > 6 degree Celsius (NDA, 2005). For commercial production under rainfed conditions MAP should ideally exceed 1 200 mm and be well distributed throughout the year (NDA, 2005), as it is important to maintain the soil moist throughout the growing season to keep the vines flowering and fruiting for longer periods and prevent the fruit from shriveling and falling prematurely (Kenyaweb, 2005). Total commercial production of passion fruit in South Africa is 1 300t per season, with a range (between 1998/9 - 2003/4) in more recent from 900 - 1 700 t (NDA, 2005).The gross value is R65 million/year (NDA, 2005).
