Market demand exceeds supply

China: "Satisfactory ending to organic red heart dragon fruit season"

"Our dragon fruit enters the market every year in July, provided that the weather conditions are regular. The supply season continues until December. Looking back on the production season in 2018, we can say that our dragon fruit production volume increased in comparison with the previous season and the average price remained stable." This is according to Mr. Li Shibin of Yunnan Province Yuanjiang County Golden Tropics Fruit Co., Ltd.

"Our company owns hectares of organic dragon fruit plantations in Yuanjiang, Yunnan. The main product variety we produce is the red heart dragon fruit 'Popular Red'. We strictly follow organic standards during the plantation process. We submit to an annual examination by a delegation from the authentication organization. The inspected water, soil, and dragon fruit samples all meet the standards for organic products."
