Palora dragon fruit, growing in the heart of Borneo
Borneo Green Harvest cultivates Palora yellow dragon fruit in Kuching, Sarawak — raised without pesticides inside protected greenhouses. Our vines are maturing now, with our first harvest expected in 2027.
A young Sarawakian farm with a clear purpose
Founded in 2023, Borneo Green Harvest set out with a simple mission: to bring fresh, nutritious Palora dragon fruit to markets across Asia, so more people can enjoy it. We are rooted in Matang, Kuching — growing our fruit and selling it directly, without middlemen between our farm and the people who enjoy it.
Today we farm five acres in Matang with eight greenhouses in operation, and we plan to grow beyond twenty greenhouses within the next ten years. Right now, we are in our growing phase. Our young dragon fruit vines are being nurtured under protected greenhouses as they mature toward our first expected harvest in 2027. It is patient, hands-on work — and it is being done here, in the landscapes of Borneo we call home.
Yellow outside, sweet within
The Palora is a yellow-skinned dragon fruit prized for its sweetness. Beneath its bright skin sits soft white flesh flecked with tiny black seeds — giving each bite a gentle, satisfying crunch.
- AppearanceBright yellow skin, white flesh, fine black seeds
- TasteSweet, with a light crunch from its fibre-rich seeds
- SizeAround 250–300 g per fruit on average
- AvailabilityFirst harvest expected in 2027
What makes the Palora different
Both belong to the same cactus family, but they are two quite different eating experiences.
Where the name comes from. Palora is a town in the Amazon foothills of Ecuador, where this yellow dragon fruit variety — Selenicereus megalanthus — became commercially established and gained its reputation for sweetness.
We grow that same variety here in Matang, Kuching. Ecuadorian soil and Bornean soil are not the same, and we make no claim otherwise — what we share is the variety, and the care taken growing it.
Palora yellow
Selenicereus megalanthusGolden skin, white flesh, fine black seeds. Sweet with a crisp bite.
Red dragon fruit
Selenicereus undatus & relatedThe familiar pink-skinned fruit found in most markets.
These figures describe the two varieties in general, drawn from published horticultural sources. Sweetness and size vary with ripeness, season and growing conditions, and published Brix ranges differ between sources. The 250–300 g weight refers to our own Palora fruit. Our first harvest is expected in 2027, and we will share measurements from our own crop once we have them.
