Guava, a tropical fruit rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, is gaining international popularity.
Among all countries, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has emerged as the world's top guava importer.
The UAE’s rising demand is fueled by a growing population of health-conscious consumers and expatriates.
Close behind are countries like Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the Netherlands.
These nations import guavas mainly from India, Thailand, and Mexico.
India, being the largest guava producer, plays a crucial role in the global supply chain.
Guavas are imported fresh and sometimes as juices or processed products.
Trade routes have expanded due to improved logistics and cold-chain technologies.
As global health trends rise, guava imports are expected to grow further.
