Demand for exotic fruits in Orange City is rising, with consumers willing to pay premium prices for imported options like New Zealand kiwis, Thai dragon fruit, Peruvian blueberries, and Chilean grapes.

Vendors attribute this shift to higher purchasing power and evolving tastes. Popular imported fruits include avocados, mini oranges, and mangosteen, priced significantly higher than domestic produce. Packaged attractively, these fruits cater to consumer preferences, reshaping the local market landscape.
