The All New Dragon Fruit South-Africa
Dragon Fruit SA
Had been cultivating and propagating Dragon Fruit, also known as Pitaya for over 6 years.
Dragon Fruit SA…started with less than 10 Dragon Fruit Plants, more than 6 years ago and thru hard work, passion and dedication, we are proud to say, we have managed, to help create a couple of Dragon Fruit Farms in South-Africa and around the World.
WE ALSO HAVE A FREE DRAGON FRUIT FORUM
All our dragon Fruit farmers are automatically part of our FREE, dragon Fruit Forum.
Allow me one minute, to explain the DRAGON FRUIT SA Forum:
This is a platform were dragon fruit farmers share free advice, on how they manage their farms and fertilizing programsand any need to know information regarding outstanding success in the Business. South-Africa is a diverse country with beautiful farms and farming community’s
By helping each other and advising another we create a positive market, and setting an overall quality and standard for all that wants to be part of this wonderful venture.
Our objective is not to dominate the dragon fruit / Pitaya market or community in SA., the market is big and wide enough for all farms and farmers and nurseries to work together.
The Motto for the Forum:
Thru knowledge and training, we share our growth to develop a sustainable Dragon Fruit community in South-Africa. Let’s take hands to ensue and allow success in this Agricultural industry in South Africa together
