Growing passion fruits: What you need to know

KIDAMALI residents at Nzihi Ward in Iringa District, Iringa Region and Tanzania at large have been advised to go for passion fruit farming in order to uplift their economic status, hence poverty reduction.

According to Kidamali Maji Company Ltd Managing Director Steve Steenkamp, passion fruit farming is still an unexplored kind of fruit farming in Tanzania.

He told the Guardian on Wednesday that apart from the fact that passion fruits, just like any other fruit, has its good and bad seasons, but when properly looked after, these fruits can enable a farmer generate significant income.

Steenkamp said passion fruit vines perform best with regular watering. Water is vital when the vine is newly planted and when it’s flowering and forming fruit.

He said passion fruits do not require special pruning techniques to produce fruit, they are pruned to control their size and spread, and to allow sunlight to filter through the vine to help ripen fruit.

However, he insisted that passion fruit vines cannot just blossom, they must be properly planned for to get the best fruits and results. 

“There is a big potential for the passion fruit farming to change economic status of the people in the villages  because there is potential export market,” he pointed out.

"There are different buyers depending on the target market. These different markets or buyers range from traders, wholesalers, retailers, hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and individual customers," he said. 

He said fruits drop to the ground when fully mature and collected every second day. At this stage, the fruits are shriveled-the best condition for juice processing.

For the fresh fruit market, the fruits are harvested when the whole of the fruit is purple just before shrink and drying sets in.

Passion fruit vines are best suited to subtropical and temperate regions, but they will adapt to other areas as long as they’re protected from frost, according to agronomists.

The passion fruits need bees support for cross-pollination so farmers should have at least a beehive nearby passion fruit fields.

However, Kidamali Maji Company has the passion fruit vines farm for a trial basis which yellow and purple passion varieties have been grown. 

But the company is looking fro donors who can support the passion fruit growing, hence engaging smallholder farmers. 

Kidamali Maji Company which produces bottled drinking water popularly known as ‘Maji Africa’, employ about 90% of people are mostly women who would not be employed to other industry as they require more educated people.

The managing director continued that company have contributed to several villages in different development areas such as Kidamali, Nzihi, Magubike and Kipera, chiefly by offering jobs to their inhabitants.

These sweet raw edible fruits (passion fruits) and mostly preferred in homestead juice making more over passion juice can be mixed with other fruits juice such as mango, avocado, pineapple to increase flavor and test. 

And also used in food industries to make drinks and vinegar so there are highly needed in such ways.

Vinegar is a liquid consisting of about 5–20% acetic acid (CH3COOH), water, and other trace chemicals, which may include flavorings.

WWF RUAHA WATER PROGRAM-SWAUM EXIT WORKSHOP DAY 2

First Panel discussion on how to address vinyungu (bottom valley cultivation) challenges in progress...

Second Panel discussing on sustainable funding for water resources management in progress...

WWF Tanzania has been working in the Great Ruaha River catchment with a focus on promoting and improving integrated water resources management since 2002. 

This was the same year that new National Water Policy was introduced to provide a comprehensive legal and institutional framework for sustainable development and management of the nation’s water resources. Throughout the intervening period however the once perennial Great Ruaha River (GRR) has run dry in the dry season for progressively longer periods. 

Throughout the period 2011-2016 WWF Tanzania has been piloting the SWAUM programme – Sustainable Water Access, Use and Management. 

SWAUM was explicitly framed and designed to address a situation – shortfalls in water governance in the GRR catchment – that was understood to be ‘complex’ (i.e. widespread conflicts and disagreements, knowledge gaps and uncertainties, and weak organisational capacity), and has sought to identify and address the institutional constraints, within and between both formal organisations and local communities.

Lack of awareness or acknowledgment of these strategic constraints, and of any commensurate response, considerably weakened or undermined the effectiveness and potential sustainability of earlier management and technical initiatives. 

SWAUM’s empirical findings are that there are systemic shortcomings in aspects of integration critical to the governance system – the ‘critical dimensions of integration’ (CDIs) – and given the continuing deference to IWRM as the governance model in the Rufiji Basin IWRMD Plan.

unless these shortcomings are addressed, the pattern of governance failure will not be broken, nor the associated drying of the GRR reversed.
