A farmer in India has successfully turned dragon fruit cultivation into a lucrative business, generating annual revenues of €185,000. Starting with 9,000 seedlings on 1.2 hectares, Mahesh Asabe expanded his farm to 24 hectares, growing various dragon fruit varieties and other fruits. The dragon fruit, known for its health benefits and drought resistance, has gained popularity in India. Mahesh's family initially grew traditional crops but shifted to dragon fruit after learning about its low water requirements. He enhanced his farming techniques through training in Israel and Vietnam, leading to improved irrigation and production methods. Now, the farm produces around 200 tons of dragon fruit annually, contributing significantly to their income.
