In one of India’s most drought prone states, Gujarat, lies Dhrangadhra. With an annual rainfall of 15 inches, this semi-arid region is home to Gujarat Dragon Fruit Exotica.

What started off as a life enhancing commitment to agroforestry, water harvesting and overall re-wilding, resulted in a 20 acres farm with 13 acres of dragon fruit!

The plants were bought from Hyderabad and were planted in Nov-Dec 2020 using the Vietnamese Horizontal Trellis System method and we are expecting an annual harvest of approx. 30,000 kg from July 2022 to September 2022.

Our methods are entirely organic, and irrigation is done through a drip line system. Cow dung and urine based Jeevamrut serves as the primary fertiliser and the eleven free ranging cows on the farm provide an ample supply of raw material!

Inputs in the soil so far include composted cowdung, ncof decomposer, mature and dried chicken manure, rice based humic acid, moringa spray, giant milkweed juice, neem oil spray, pseudomonas and lagam.

Our fruit is Variety C dragon fruit (Hylocereus costaricensis) and has red skin and red flesh. This red fleshed variety has many health benefits as it contains Lycopene, a natural antioxidant known to fight cancer, heart disease, and lower blood pressure.
