Dragon fruit production continues to expand across the Philippines, making it more challenging for agripreneurs to stay ahead of the competition.
Among the co-owners of the 32-hectare family property are Kevin and Krizza Eliscupides, a couple of professionals in the medical field.
Ignacio currently oversees and provides training and seminars on the farm. He also gets help and support from his mother, Ping Ignacio, who is among the 12 siblings and inheritors of the land where Dragon Fruit Depot stands today. “They are very unique from each other. Some have flavors [that are similar to] berries, kiwi, grapes, guava, coconut, and more.”Dragon Fruit Depot has roughly two hectares of dragon fruit trees, and the family plans to expand following this year’s fruiting season, which ends in November.
These are Godzilla dragon fruits, one of the rare dragon fruit varieties available at Dragon Fruit Depot.This Bulacan farm specializes in hybrid dragon fruits because they find them sweeter and more flavorful than local or common varieties. This is the family’s attempt to put “the Philippines on the map for the world’s best-tasting dragon fruits.”
