Abstract Papaya is a tropical fruit that is in great demand by the community at an affordable price and can adapt to various types of soil, including sub-optimal land. Jambi province has a quite large area of sub-optimal land. The aim of the study was to determine the growth, production, and farming analysis of Merah Delima and California Papaya on sub-optimal land.
