Java Bite wants to go to America!

The island of Java is home to a lot of tropical fruit - mangos, pineapples, papaya, bananas, etc.  The continent of North America?  Not so much.

It's no surprise that the US doesn't produce a whole lot of tropical fruit products.  American farmers busy themselves with crops like corn, soybeans, wheat, etc.  So, America looks to the rest of the world to provide products made with exotic fruit.

Figure 2 shows that US imports of mangos, guavas and mangosteen have increased dramatically.  Countries like the Philippines and Thailand export a lot of these products to the US.  Indonesia hasn't been a very prominent player.  But that hasn't stopped us from being the first to ship dried mangos from Indonesia to the US.  Java Bite dried mangos from Indonesia are available right now in the US.  In fact, you can get them RIGHT HERE!


But why stop with dried mangos?  Java Bite wants to send pineapple products, too!  Figure 3 shows the substantial increase of US pineapple imports, mainly from Thailand.


Although Java Bite dried pineapple has been marketed in Indonesia for several years, those products have yet to make an appearance in the US.  But perhaps that may change in the near future.

And what about dried papaya?  And dried bananas?  Like dried pineapple, those Java Bite products have never made it out of Indonesia.  Java Bite wants to live in America and bring the whole family, too!
