Exotic King produces more than 50 types of fruits and vegetables and owns ten plantations where ten employees and around a hundred contractors across Croatia work. The company’s goal is to advance and expand, educate the public about the cultivation of exotic fruits, its positive impacts on the environment and human health, and to expand exports to foreign markets, especially products made from pawpaw, a superfood that is a unique product on a global scale.

VISIT THE PLACE WHERE FLAVORS OF THE WORLD MEET

To achieve this, the two-day “Pawpaw Festival” has been organized at the plantation in Donja Bistra.

EXOTIC KING allows you to experience the exotic flavors of distant America, Asia, or Africa without leaving Croatia. Now, all of these exotic fruits and vegetables are within your reach.

Through the Pawpaw Festival, Exotic King has educated consumers about the numerous benefits of this fruit, while also launching expert lectures on its cultivation using good practice examples. These lectures are delivered by many agronomists and nutritionists.

In 2025, the Pawpaw Festival will be held on September 13 and 14. The program is being developed.
