The national fruit of Malaysia is PAPAYA? According to Google, Papaya is the national fruit of our nation and it is available all year round.Google appears to have picked up Papaya as the national fruit because of Wikipedia’s list of national fruits page. They listed some of the official and unofficial fruits in certain countries, including Malaysia.
Another source states that Malaysia is the largest exporter of papayas in the world but it couldn’t be more wrong. As a small country, we’re the 20th producer of papayas in the world with 65,967 tonnes production volume per year, compared to India with 5,699,000 tonnes. The biggest exporter of papayas in the world is Mexico with 200,000 tonnes per year.
We wonder who voted it to be the most popular? Or maybe someone is trying to make papaya the national fruit by editing the Wikipedia entry?
