Ecuadorian Dragon Fruit Prices on the Rise as Exports to China Open

Dragon fruit supply in Ecuador is low on W32 as expected for this time of the year on the production curve, with prices of USD 1.50-1.80/kg. Production is forecasted to kick off in October as the high season starts, but supply won't be enough as producers expect high demand for Yellow Dragon Fruit from China and the United States. The high demand will keep dragon fruit prices at a high level through the season.
