Pitaya (Hylocereus undatus) also known as Buah Naga in Malaysia was a new fruit commodity introduced less than 10 years ago for commercial production. There were 2 varieties grown in Malaysia that was Red Clone (Isi Merah) and White Clone (Isi Putih). Total pitaya planting area in Malaysia was 2,510 hectare with annual production of 9,790 metric ton in 2010. Pitaya was commercially grown in Daerah Kluang Johor (206 ha), Daerah Mersing Johor (156 ha) and Daerah Jelebu N Sembilan (155 ha). Pitaya industry in Malaysia was seriously hit by Dieback Disease 3 years ago and caused many farmers flung in their capital investment. The control measures by biological and chemical measures improved the situation. This article discuss about pitaya cashflow in Malaysia in 2010 based on my survey in Kedah, Johor, Perak and Penang.
