One of our objectives for us specialising in papaya farming is to have a food secure community. This targets the Arid and semi arid areas such as North Eastern Kenya and the lower eastern kenya which are hit by drought and famine time to time.
Papaya fruits have the following nutritional values:
Case study using 275g of papaya fruit flesh.

This is close to complete food (balanced diet) for all ages. Thus a reason for no starvation in our community.
