Description
Product Overview
Vietfrost is a leading IQF Red Dragon Fruit Supplier in Vietnam, processing vibrant magenta-fleshed Pitaya from contracted farms across Binh Thuan, Long An, and Tien Giang provinces. Red Dragon Fruit delivers a higher Brix level (14-18°) than its white counterpart, with a sweeter flavor profile and intensely colored flesh that adds visual impact to finished products.
IQF Red Dragon Fruit is a high-demand ingredient for Smoothie Bowls, Frozen Beverages, Natural Food Coloring applications, Frozen Desserts, and Health Food products. The vibrant magenta color is a natural pigment (betacyanin) – appealing to Clean Label manufacturers seeking alternatives to artificial colorants. Vietnam’s year-round Dragon Fruit cultivation ensures uninterrupted supply for Annual Contracts.
Vietnam accounts for the majority of global Dragon Fruit production, with Binh Thuan province alone producing over 500,000 tons annually. The country’s established IQF processing infrastructure, competitive labor costs, and proximity to major shipping lanes make it the most cost-effective origin for bulk Frozen Dragon Fruit sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Red Dragon Fruit Stain?
Yes. The natural betacyanin pigment in Red Dragon Fruit produces a vivid magenta color that can stain surfaces and packaging. This is actually an advantage for Smoothie Bowl and Natural Coloring applications. For products where staining is undesirable, we recommend our IQF White Dragon Fruit instead.
What Is the Minimum Order Quantity?
MOQ is one 20-foot Reefer Container (approximately 18-20 MT depending on product format). Mixed Containers combining multiple IQF Fruits are available for buyers who need product variety in a single shipment.
What Is the Typical Lead Time?
4-6 weeks from order confirmation during Peak Season. Off-season orders ship from Frozen Inventory within 2-3 weeks, subject to stock availability.
