  • No farm price data is available for 2024 or 2025, as these years are either incomplete or future projections not yet released.
Detailed Report on Papaya Prices in the United States (2020–2025)

This report provides an in-depth analysis of papaya prices in the United States from 2020 to 2025, focusing on both farm and retail prices, based on data from authoritative sources such as the USDA Economic Research Service (ERS), YCharts, and other agricultural market reports. Given the current date (March 23, 2025), data for 2024 and 2025 is limited, as these are future or incomplete years. The analysis covers farm prices for 2020 to 2023, with retail prices available for 2020 and 2022, highlighting trends, data gaps, and contextual factors influencing prices.

Papaya Prices by Year

Farm Prices (Price Received by Farmers)
Farm prices for papayas in the U.S. are available for the years 2020 to 2023, as reported by YCharts, which compiles data from USDA sources. These prices reflect the average price per pound received by farmers for their papaya crops. No farm price data is available for 2024 or 2025, as these are future or incomplete years.

  • 2020: The farm price was $0.439 per pound, reflecting the price received by farmers during the marketing year.
  • 2021: This increased to $0.686 per pound, indicating a significant rise, possibly due to increased demand or production challenges.
  • 2022: The price slightly decreased to $0.636 per pound, suggesting a market adjustment.
  • 2023: The price rebounded to $0.679 per pound, showing a slight increase from 2022.
  • 2024 and 2025: No data is available, as it is currently March 2025, and the next USDA release for 2024 data is scheduled for April 2025, with 2025 being a future year.
  • Source: YCharts, based on USDA data (retrieved from YCharts - US Papayas Price Received).
  • Notes: The data shows a general increase from 2020 to 2021, a slight decrease in 2022, and a rebound in 2023, with an average growth rate of 3.24% over the period. This reflects the volatility in farm-level prices, influenced by production volumes and market dynamics.
Additional Context and Trends
  • Wholesale Prices: While not directly requested, wholesale prices provide context for retail prices. For example, Tridge reports a wholesale price of $1.95 per kg (approximately $0.884 per pound) for Maradol papayas from Mexico in New York City (Bronx) as of January 7, 2025, based on domestic price data (Tridge - United States Fresh Papaya Market Overview). This is likely a wholesale price, not retail, and indicates the price at the distribution level.
  • Import and Export Data: The U.S. is a significant importer of papayas, with Mexico being the leading supplier. IndexBox reports that papaya imports into the U.S. rose to 227K tons in 2023, with a total import value of $145M, increasing at an average annual rate of +7.3% from 2020 to 2023 (IndexBox - Papaya Price in the United States). This import data can influence domestic prices, especially retail, due to supply chain dynamics.
  • Seasonal Variations: Papaya prices may vary seasonally, with higher prices during off-peak production periods. However, specific seasonal retail price data for 2020-2025 is not detailed in the sources.
  • Unexpected Detail: While farm prices show a relatively stable trend, the lack of comprehensive retail price data highlights a gap in consumer-level price tracking, which is surprising given the USDA's extensive agricultural data collection. This gap suggests that retail prices may be more volatile or regionally variable than farm prices, but without data, this remains speculative.
Conclusion

This report provides a comprehensive overview of papaya prices from 2020 to 2023, with detailed farm price data and limited retail price availability for 2020 and 2022. The lack of data for 2024 and 2025 reflects the current date (March 2025) and the timing of agricultural reporting, which often occurs post-harvest.
