Objective: The objective was to evaluate the morphological characteristics of okra fruit [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench.], an endemic crop of the Afro-Mexican region, in the dry tropics. Design/Methodology/Approach: Materials were collected in Cuajinicuilapa, in the state of Guerrero in Mexico. Using a completely randomized design (CRD), 4 repetitions of 100 fruits were selected, and each was evaluated for the following: weight, number, size and shape of fruits and seeds. Data were analyzed using measures of central tendency, utilizing SAS. Results: The fruits are heterogeneous and some are deformed, they have a long and fluted shape, with an average weight of 10.4 g and 95 seeds each weighing 0.05 g. The seeds are round with a conical micropyle, the testa is dark grey, and the embryo white. Study Limitations/Implications: It is necessary to keep studying the morphological characteristics of okra fruit for a longer period of time and to establish farming in order to widen the outlook of decision making. Findings/Conclusions: Okra fruits from backyard farming have better quality and potential for fresh or processed consumption. There is a lack of management and improvement of this crop
