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, and Moroccan producer Sweet Pitaya has been one of the country's pioneers in growing novel and exotic fruits, launching dragon fruit in 2010. Moroccan consumers love dragon fruits for their nutritional value and taste, as well as their novelty in the country. This market gap has yet to be filled, and the dragon fruit industry is still solid and has great potential.
There is also interest in importing pitaya from Morocco for the European market, which is geographically far from the mass production sites in Asia, especially when we know that pitaya is very fragile and perishable. Sourcing these fruits from Morocco will give the European market access to very fresh produce at lower transport costs. So Moroccan dragon fruit is looking for a place in the European market.
