Market drivers

Import demand from China is considered the main factor supporting selling prices. Exporters said they are actively purchasing qualified Thai and Ri6 durian to meet year-end orders. This has created an upward trend in garden prices in Dong Thap and some western provinces.

In addition, the quality of this year's fruit is highly appreciated thanks to favorable weather, reduced rain and proper care procedures. The fruit set rate increased, the flesh was beautiful yellow and the sweetness was stable, helping durian maintain a good price during the period near the main season.

Market outlook

Dong Thap currently has more than 26,000 hectares of durian, with an estimated annual output of about 470,000 tons. When the peak harvest begins in about a month, abundant supplies will be brought to the market. Experts predict that durian prices are likely to continue to increase in the coming weeks if export demand from China remains stable as it is now.

Localities are also proactively implementing measures to reinforce embankments and prevent high tides to protect orchards from weather fluctuations, in order to minimize risks during the fruit development stage.
