Dragon fruit exports recovered in the first two months of the year, supported by clear momentum from Thailand and the UAE, while China—the leading market—stabilized after a sharp decline.
Data from the General Department of Customs shows that the value of dragon fruit exports in February reached over 60 million USD, up 63% year-on-year.
