At this time, warehouses in Cai Lay district, Tien Giang province are purchasing Monthong durian type A at prices ranging from 180,000 - 190,000 VND/kg, type B at 160,000 - 170,000 VND/kg. Ri 6 durian type A is priced at 130,000 - 140,000 VND/kg, type B is priced around 100,000 VND/kg.
It is worth mentioning that this year, due to the impact of the weather, especially heavy rain and strong winds, the rate of durian orchards bearing fruit is lower than in previous years. Currently, only about 50% of the orchards have fruit that meets the requirements, the rest have fallen flowers and very few fruits. Therefore, it is likely that durian prices will increase further when export demand is strong.
According to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Tien Giang province, the whole province has about 23,000 hectares of durian trees; of which the fruit-bearing area is nearly 15,000 hectares, concentrated in Cai Lay, Cai Be districts and Cai Lay town.
Since July 11, 2022, when the protocol on official durian exports to the Chinese market took effect, the price of this fruit in Tien Giang province has remained high, helping farmers earn high profits. Due to its economic efficiency, the area of durian trees is increasing dramatically.
Mr. Phan Thanh Son, Vice Chairman of Cai Be District People's Committee - a locality with 9,000 hectares of durian orchards, said: "The price of durian this year is very high, but production is difficult, especially with unfavorable weather like this year. Durian flowers are prone to falling when exposed to heavy rain, which is very difficult due to natural disasters. As for the technical level and the staff who come to guide us, farmers have been very receptive to the application of the techniques."
