National papaya breeding and evaluation program
New red and yellow papaya varieties are continuing to be bred and evaluated under this program, which follows on from the investment New genetic targets to improve quality in papaya (PP15000). The research team is focused on delivering new elite, genetically stable cultivars that meet the needs of growers and the preferences of consumers, and that are adapted to key growing areas in northern Queensland, including the Tableland and coastal regions. The ultimate goal is to expand the marketability and profitability of the Australian papaya industry.
