"Dragon Fruit"
The dragon fruit, “saniata” to locals, is now produced by Ilocanos all year round through an “extended daylight technology,” where growers put light bulbs in between posts of dragon fruit plants to induce flowering during the off-season. Ilocanos refer to the dragon fruit as the “vine of life” because of its health benefits and the additional income that it gives to local communities and even schools.
Agriculture experts said the dragon fruit plant grows well in the province because of its favorable weather condition. The plant requires easily drained and highly organic soil, less irrigation, and minimal maintenance. Dragon fruit plants start bearing fruits in May until November. Growers harvest dragon fruits at least five times a year.
