Pitahaya production in Ecuador is quickly growing and the country is moving into the position of a key supplier in the world market.
According to the Palora Exotic Fruit Exporters Association, it was only 20 years ago that significant production of the exotic fruit began--first of the yellow pitahaya and then 10 years later, red pitahaya.
Exponential growth occurred nine years ago when cultivation began in an organized manner and then after 2016 when it began its export, says Francisco Ortega
