Morocco's dragon fruit market grows fast. FstSort offers gentle, high-capacity processing (23k pcs/h/lane) – protects delicate fruit, cuts losses, meets export standards.
Dragon fruit was introduced to Vietnam by the French more than 100 years ago. It is called Thanh Long (green dragon) because the most common fruit type is oval shaped with bright red skin and green leafy scales similar to the skin of a dragon. It is commonly grown in several other countries such as Vietnam, southern China and more recently Thailand, Australia and Taiwan.
But the market for the fruit is still virgin territory in Morocco.
Moroccan consumers love dragon fruit, and the country is well positioned to supply fresh, high-quality pitaya to the nearby European market. However, dragon fruit is delicate — easily damaged, and prone to dirt trapping in its scales. To compete at the premium level, Moroccan growers need reliable post-harvest processing equipment.
FstSort provides a complete dragon fruit cleaning, drying, and grading line designed specifically for this challenge.
