Thai durian prices in the Mekong Delta have unexpectedly dropped sharply today, December 3. Export demand remains high, but domestic supply is scarce due to off-season conditions and flooding.

Chuong Bo and Sau Huu durian, grade A, in the region fluctuates between 65,000 - 80,000 VND/kg.

In the Southeast and Central Highlands regions, the market is less volatile but durian prices are generally lower than in the Mekong Delta due to quality and transportation costs.

Durian grades B and C in both areas have a decrease of about 20,000 - 30,000 VND/kg compared to grade A.

Durian exports continue to set new records

The demand for durian exports remains high, contributing to the main driving force for the growth of Vietnam's fruit and vegetable industry. The export turnover of fruits and vegetables in the first 11 months of 2025 reached more than 7.8 billion USD, up 18% over the same period.

Durian alone accounted for 3.4 billion USD, surpassing the entire export turnover of 2024 and maintaining its role as the industry's number 1 export item.

The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association said the durian market is in the off-season, supply has decreased sharply and this scarcity could last until March 2026.

The main reason is that many growing areas in the Mekong Delta are flooded, along with the cost of off-season production increasing by 10-15% compared to the main crop. Limited supply while export demand remains high, predicting that durian market prices may continue to fluctuate strongly in the coming time.
