It contains vitamin E and anthocyanin. Anthocyanins are contained in grape skin, red beet and other fruits and vegetables, but the anthocyanin content in dragon fruit is the highest. In addition, dragon fruit not only tastes sweet, it also has great nutritional value, such as anti-oxidants and the prevention of constipation. Based on these fruit characteristics, dragon fruit has been favored by consumers in the domestic and overseas markets, especially the red meat dragon fruit," says Susan Wang of Comtree Enterprise CO during an interview with FreshPlaza.
"This year, the dragon fruit in Taiwan has ushered in a bumper harvest, and the output has increased significantly compared with previous years. This is mainly due to the fact that this year is a fruity year. Most of the dragon fruit orchards have entered a high yield period, resulting in a sharp increase in production. Secondly, the total planting area of dragon fruit has increased. Moreover, the weather is stable throughout the year. There was not too much rainfall and the growth of dragon fruit is better."
"We planted dragon fruit in central Taiwan. The varieties include red meat dragon fruit and white meat dragon fruit. The season starts in June and July respectively. Compared with last year, this year, our planting base has expanded by 10% for cultivating new varieties. We use organic fertilizer and grass cultivation methods instead of herbicide. We used no herbicide or growth hormone in the whole fruit growth period to meet the food and fruit safety needs. "
"At this stage, our dragon fruit is sold to supermarkets, wholesale markets and retailers through multiple channels. In terms of sales area, our fruit is sold locally in Taiwan. At the same time, through traders, it is exported to other countries and regions. We will participate in the fruit and vegetable exhibition held in Hong Kong in September to promote exports. At that time, we look forward to meeting with the industry and exploring business opportunities."
