Abstract

Red flesh dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) or pitaya is well-known as an excellent source of antioxidants and high content of nutrients. The Red flesh dragon fruit is a hybrid of the white flesh dragon fruit Hylocereus undatus and a native Hylocereus costaricensis from Middle and North America. It brings high economic efficiency and currently being developed in the province of Vinh Phuc. The main objective of the study is to create a model, which help to determine the suitability in developing dragon fruit cultivation in Vinh Phuc province in order to support local agricultural and land use planning. The model is built based on the application of Geographic Information System (GIS), Kriging interpolation method, Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) method, Fuzzy Set Theory and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate and map the area suitable zonation for farming.
