Passion fruit growing in Kenya

A brief account is given of a minor fruit-growing industry in Kenya. It is an interesting enterprise, because it exemplifies some problems which are apparent in fruit-growing, especially in the tropics, including pest and disease control and commercial outlets. Marketing difficulty is due often to the small quantities involved, which make sales firms reluctant to handle the product not only from the point of view of the initial quantity but also the possibility of repeat orders being unavailable (11).
