Observed & selected in Egypt

EgyM1An Egyptian chapter in the field.

From Vietnamese White
to EgyM1.

Our EgyM1 selection grew out of development work on a Vietnamese White line, selected for higher sweetness and larger fruit. During this work, we recorded sweetness increasing from 12 to 20° Brix and fruit reaching 500–1,000 g in some harvests.

These observations are specific to the selection work, not a specification for every harvest. Fruit size and sweetness vary by season and lot; we confirm actual harvest specifications before quotation.

Know the plant

A tropical cactus.
An Egyptian calendar.

Also known as pitaya, dragon fruit originated in the Americas and belongs to the cactus family. Its oval fruit carries pink or yellow skin, while the seeded flesh may be white, red or purple.

Planting window: March–October
Harvest window: July–November

Cultivation approach

Our cultivation plan includes organic inputs such as vermicompost and horse manure. This describes our planned inputs, not an organic certification.

Light pink peel / White flesh

Mild & refreshing

A widely grown, cultivation-friendly profile.

Deep pink peel / Red or purple flesh

Sweeter & concentrated

A vivid profile for juice and fresh presentation.

Yellow peel / White flesh

Very sweet

A rarer, climate-sensitive type with a rougher skin.

Our long-term cultivation plan

Thinking beyond
a single season.

Our ten-year cultivation model allows for two years of establishment, initial fruit in year three, and mature output from year six. These figures are planning assumptions per feddan (4,200 m²), not production or return guarantees.

Explore our planning assumptions and market context

Production model / per feddan (4,200 m²)

Year 01–02: Establishment
Year 03: 4,500 kg
Year 04: 6,750–9,000 kg
Year 05: 13,500 kg
Year 06–10: 18,750 kg

6,000 cuttings per feddan (4,200 m²); cuttings as an additional channel from year three; monthly labour and inputs of EGP 12,000; management and marketing modelled at 15% of production.

Historical market context

Our planning materials cite Mordor Intelligence’s global dragon-fruit market estimate of $14.73B in 2024 and forecast of $18.27B in 2029, with 4.40% forecast annual growth. These historical estimates provide background only; they are not current market figures or an Al-Alamia sales forecast.

Land, establishment, crop prices and return projections depend on land terms, input costs, plant survival, yield, quality and market conditions. This is not a current investment offer.
