๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡ผ Taiwan Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit was first introduced to Taiwan in the 1640s by the Dutch, initially with low commercial yield. However, it wasn't until the 1980s, with the introduction of new self-compatible varieties from Vietnam, that the industry expanded significantly. Since then, Taiwan has become a leader in developing and breeding new varieties, including specialty products like the two-toned bicolored dragon fruit and improved self-pollinating cultivars such as "Big Mac 3," through a strong partnership between agricultural institutions and farmers.
