There are slight yellowish-bronish patches inside the fruit. Attached are pics of outside and inside of the fruit.
Is this rind necrosis?

Saverafarms,

Blossom end means end of the blosoom I.e the flower or the beginning of the fruit. In tour case its the top part of the fruit that affected which is pretty much simiLar to a typical case of blossom end rot. In the other 2 cases it could be rind necrosis. Maybe you can pick a fruit and cut it to half. Examine if the skin I.e the rind has brown patches just above the red fleshy part. If you see no brown patches under the skin you are doin OK. My guess is its a solid bacterial infection.
