It may come as no surprise to you that with the passion fruit's tropical flavor, the plant prefers to grow in tropical climates. According to Better Homes & Gardens, passion fruit thrives in tropical, temperate climates close to the equator that rarely, if ever, experience frost. With that in mind, it makes sense that the country which produces the most passion fruit is Brazil. The U.S. Library of Congress reports that 90% percent of the South American country is within the tropical zone, making it ideal for mass-producing passion fruit.
Maria Esther Wong, a specialist of the Commercial Intelligence Unit of Sierra y Selva Exportadora, says that Brazil alone produced 593,429 tons of passion fruit in 2020, followed by competitors Colombia and Peru with 137,436 tons and 80,219 tons, respectively. The continent of South America has over 84% of the entire world's passion fruit production (via Blue Book Produce). Though Brazil is by far the biggest producer of the fruit, Peru tops the list as the largest exporter. In 2020, the nation exported $42.2 million worth of passion fruit, whereas Brazil exported only $1.1 million. Blue Book Produce notes that much of Peru's exported passion fruit is shipped to The Netherlands.
