About this fruit

Growing popularity with steady import increases year-over-year.

Seasonal Availability

Dragon fruit stands out among tropical fruits for its near year-round availability, making it a consistent presence in international markets. Vietnam, a leading global exporter, operates two distinct harvest cycles annually: the primary season from April to June and a secondary season from August to November. This dual-cycle system, enabled by the tropical climate and monsoon patterns, ensures extended market presence. Thailand offers even more consistent availability, with dragon fruit accessible year-round and peak production occurring from May to October. The year-round cultivation is possible because dragon fruit plants adapt well to various soil types and Thailand's irrigation infrastructure supports off-season production even during dry periods. Peak market activity and consumer demand in China typically align with summer and early fall months (May-October) when both countries maximize production, though the globalized supply chain means Chinese consumers can enjoy dragon fruit throughout the year at relatively stable prices.
