Dragon Fruit, with its vibrant color, unique appeal, and rising popularity, is quickly becoming a game-changer for forward-thinking farmers across Zimbabwe. Once considered rare and niche, it’s now capturing the attention of health-conscious consumers and high-end markets both locally and internationally. With strong profit margins, low water needs, and long productive life, Dragon Fruit offers an exciting opportunity for growers looking to diversify and future-proof their farms. At Purumutso, we’re championing this crop as part of a new generation of resilient, high-value fruits — and we’re ready to help you get started and succeed.
Dragon Fruit, also known as pitaya, is a vibrant, exotic fruit that is rapidly gaining popularity both locally and internationally. Its striking appearance, delicious taste, and high nutritional value make it a favourite among health-conscious consumers and premium fruit markets.
In Zimbabwe, dragon fruit is still relatively new — which makes it a perfect opportunity for forward-thinking farmers who want to diversify and stay ahead of the curve. The plants are hardy, drought-resistant, and can yield multiple harvests per year once mature. What’s more, dragon fruit is in demand in upscale local markets and has strong export potential in neighbouring countries and beyond.
