ハワイは熱帯果樹栽培の適地
ベトナムの果樹の主要な輸出品目であるドラゴンフルーツは、これからの輸入増加が期待される作物
Dragon fruit import from Vietnam is anticipated to expand tropical fruit market in Japan.
ランブータンは純熱帯性果樹で、国内栽培にはその大きなチャレンジをどう克服するかが課題。
Taste is similar to Litchi, Sapindaceae genera
石垣では産地の特性を生かしたアボカド生産が活発に進められています。
Key for success is how to protect avocado in winter temperature
ドラゴンフルーツはベトナムの果樹の主要な輸出品目
Dragon fruit is a major product exported by Vietnam.
ホーチミン市での熱帯果樹に関するシンポジウムのあと、参加グループでドラゴンフルーツの圃場を訪問。広大な圃場の水路をボートで巡る視察となりました。圃場のドラゴンフルーツは、しっかり整備された灌水システムで管理されています。ベトナムのドラゴンフルーツビジネスが、安定した強固なものだと実感します。
After the tropical fruit symposium in Ho Chi Minh City, our group went to a field trip to dragon fruit area. That trip
was done by a boat on the waterway along the large field. Dragon fruit trees are managed under the well-organized irrigation system in the field. I’m convinced that the dragon fruit business is stable and robust in Vietnam.
Due to benefits under semi tropical area, lots of growers are trying to produce variety of tropical fruits. Mango is pretty popular and new commers to agriculture start cultivation. More experienced growers are challenging to produce avocado, which is one of expected products in local market.
Mango production is popular in Ibusuki, where temperature is controlled in green house by using hot spring. The challenge is how to manage installation cost of hot spring facility to make a profitable business.
Northern limit for high value fruits production was moving to Hokkaido. Apple used to be famous in Aomori and Ohato, cherry, was primarily produced in Yamagata. Currently those conventional products are produced in much broader area due mainly to cultivation technology as well as global warming.
