Although, several researches have been done on both production and post-harvest handling of papaya else-where, there is less adoption or application of the research results to solve both papaya production and fruit post-harvest handling problems under African background. Therefore, the present study was initiated to review the current research development on an integrated agro-technology of papaya fruit including the pre-harvest treatments and the post-harvest handling aspects of the papaya, aiming at producing recom-mendations for future shelf life improvement research and development activities.
