  ABSTRACT: Pitaya de mayo (Stenocereus pruinosus) exportation is considered feasible especially to the United States of America (USA) using the adequate preservation and transportation techniques. One of the exportation requirements is that pitayas, as well as any other tropical fruits, have to be free from Mexican fruit fly contamination and certified by the Food National Sanitary, Iniquity, and Quality Service. This review proved that this fruit is not attacked by the Mexican fruit fly A. ludens or any other Anastrepha species. The fruit fly may be found in some States of Mexican Republic such as some tropical regions but not in the semi-arid regions where cacti fruits are grown.
