Table 3 shows that in 1993, local demand for the fruit used up 62% of the total production. The remaining 38% was exported fresh. The 62% that was consumed locally was either fresh or processed. Due to lack of data, the exact volume of those that were exported cannot be segregated from those that were consumed locally. iii. Historical Supply iv. Projected Demand Table 4.
