At the start of the outbreak in Vietnam, farmers were struggling to sell dragon fruit as well as other produces because borders with China were closed down. This affected farmers financially, as they faced difficulty in supporting themselves and their families, and emotionally, seeing their hard-work went to waste.
Seeing the hardship, the owner of ABC Bakery, Kao Sieu Luc a.k.a "the Bread King of Vietnam", was struck with the idea of using unsold dragon fruit to make baguette in order to support the farmers.
Mr. Kao Sieu Luc
By mixing the dragon fruit pulp into the baguette dough, Luc successfully created a tasty, nutritious, and aesthetic treat that was able to ease farmers' worries and contribute to local economy.
