Dragon fruit production in Andalusia, Spain is on its way to become more popular

In 2022 in Huelva, it is expected that the production will rise fivefold, following the trends of the other producing regions in Andalusia (Cordoba, Seville, Malaga). Consumers have become more aware of the health benefits of fruit. Its consumption can prevent respiratory infections and common colds.

Apart from the growing interest of final customers, the dragon fruit attracts growers due to its crucial advantage. Its production cycle is more profitable than other fruits or berries, even more than avocados. It requires almost no water, which is, in turn, another positive aspect that environmentally friendly buyers have increasingly valued for the past years, as sustainability awareness is rising among the general population.
