Panama invites visitors to discover a selection of tropical fruits grown under the country's abundant sunshine, rainfall, and fertile soils. From sweet pineapple to crisp watermelon, vibrant pitahaya, coconut, mango, plantain, and jackfruit, Panama offers fresh produce renowned for its freshness, exceptional flavor, and distinctive character, supported by decades of export experience and world-class logistics.

Visitors to the Panama Pavilion, located in Hall 12, Stand 12F12, will discover MD-2 pineapple, showcased by Tropical Fruit Company, Capitán Piña Panamá, Tres Piñas, Ananas Panamá, Industria 4.0 Panamá, and Producción Agrícola Internacional. This premium variety is prized for its juicy texture, low acidity, and naturally sweet taste. Panamanian pineapples are also recognized for their high sugar content, ranging between 15 and 17° Brix.

The country's dry season, from December to April, provides ideal growing conditions for the watermelons produced by Potuga Fruit Company, Agro Export Pacific, Agroexotics Fruits Panamá, and APSECU. Their portfolio includes both seedless and seeded varieties, appreciated for their firmness, sweetness, and refreshing qualities, with sugar levels reaching up to 12° Brix.

Panama Squash

Jardines Urbanos is part of Panama's emerging pitahaya sector, while Río Piedra Farm supplies coconut, young green coconut, mango, plantain, and jackfruit.

Panama's agricultural offering extends beyond fresh fruit. Panamagro, located in the province of Darién, operates in one of the country's most fertile agricultural regions, characterized by abundant rainfall, rich soils, and excellent growing conditions. The company supplies tropical root crops including yam, taro, and tannia (also known as yautia or malanga), products highly valued in international markets for their versatility, nutritional value, and year-round demand.

Responsible farming practices are an essential part of Panama's production model. Exporters work under strict quality programs, certifications, sustainable production methods, and efficient post-harvest management systems, ensuring that products reach international markets with maximum freshness, quality, and consistency.
