PREPARATION OF GUAVA PRODUCTS

INTRODUCTION

The guava is one of the distributed fruit tree crops in


the tropics like the Philippines. It has a great potential for
extensive commercial production because of its high
nutritional value and popularity of processed products. Most
common areas where guavas are grown in abundance are
open areas, forests, backyard or as a part of a mixed orchard.
However, there are no existing records for big planting and
production of guava in the Philippines.
