Some varieties have been grown in Vietnam.

1. Musang King durian

Musang King durian has long been hailed as the best durian in the world . In late 2023, this fruit attracted attention when it sold for an exorbitant price of RM 185,000 (nearly VND 1 billion) at a fundraising event in Raub district, Pahang (Malaysia). Photo: Instagram/fadzlikamal

Typically, the price of Musang King durian ranges from US$16/kg to US$21/kg (approximately 400,000 - 500,000 VND) depending on origin, quality, seller, and demand. Photo: The Jakarta Post

In Vietnam, at one point, Musang King durian grown in the Mekong Delta ranged from 500,000 to 850,000 VND/kg for unpeeled durian, equivalent to 1.5-1.8 million VND per kg for peeled durian. Meanwhile, the same variety imported from Malaysia (peeled and frozen) cost 1.3-1.5 million VND per kg for Grade A durian. Photo: Vietnamnet.

2. Kanyao Durian

In 2019, at the King of Durian Festival held in Nonthaburi (central Thailand), a Kanyao durian from Nonthaburi province set a world record when it was auctioned for $48,000 (over 1.1 billion VND). Photo: Stratetimes

Normally, Kanyao durians grown in Nonthaburi (Thailand) cost between approximately US$380 and US$530 per fruit (9-12.5 million VND per fruit). Photo: Specialty Produ

The high price of Kanyao durian is not only due to the time and labor of the farmers, but also to other costs. For example, the cost of water for irrigation alone amounts to approximately $2,200 (over 50 million VND) per year. (Photo: Stratetimes)

Despite the exorbitant price, demand for Kanyao durian remains very high, and supply cannot keep up. Photo: Stratetimes
