Organic coffee and koko samoa farmer Mele Mauala wanted to learn more about growing the fruit that is still new to her country, so she turned to an unlikely ally — Rockhampton dragon fruit farmer Gary Lee.
"Dragon fruit is a relatively new fruit to Samoa, but it's picking up speed and people are really enjoying it," Mauala said.
"It's one of the plants we'd like to see expand and grow in Samoa but, for that reason, we need to know a little bit more about it and the diversity of varieties that are available."
