Cultivating Change: How a Home-grown Dragon Fruit Producer is Gaining International Success

The team behind Bulacan Dragon Fruit Depot, led by Kevin Eliscupides (3rd from right), stands proudly in front of their farm's main entrance.

What started as a small backyard hobby born from a family's search for healing has blossomed into Bulacan Dragon Fruit Depot, now the world’s largest source of hybrid dragon fruit varieties. With its remarkable collection of over 200 unique dragon fruit cultivars, this family-run enterprise is spearheading the movement toward sustainable, innovative farming in the Philippines.
