Kanyao durian is so expensive not only because of the time and labor of the farmers, but also because of other costs. Of which, the cost of buying water to irrigate the trees each year costs about 2,200 USD (more than 50 million VND). Photo: Stratetimes
Despite the sky-high prices, demand for Kanyao durian is still so high that supply cannot keep up. Photo: Stratetimes
