Guavas

Cultivated guavas often include pink, white, and red pulp varieties, each with distinct flavor notes. The crop thrives in low to mid elevations where rainfall is ample, although high fruit fly pressure demands vigilant control. Guavas enjoy year-round local demand—fresh fruit sells well in neighborhood markets, while guava-based jams and pastries are staples in local bakeries. Despite competition from wild and feral trees, commercial growers who manage quality and consistent harvesting can carve out profitable niches. Overall, guavas remain an iconic tropical fruit with reliable if not massive market share.
