Hares Town's Unusual Fruit Evolution
Dragon fruit was first cultivated in the town of Haris in Salfit District, Palestine. Farmer Saeed Qasim is growing four varieties of it on an area of approximately 900 square meters. This experiment comes as a kind of challenge and hobby, amid increasing demand for the fruit, which does not require large amounts of water and is characterized by its high economic value; the kilogram is sold at a price of no less than 40 shekels, and the fruits sometimes reach nearly one kilogram in weight. Cultivating dragon fruit is relatively easy, with manual pollination during nighttime flowering being important. Its season runs from June to December, with a longer ripening period in winter. Despite the limited land area surrounding the settlements, this project is a promising opportunity for farmers to invest in new crops, especially given the increasing demand and high market prices.
