In many localities, farmers are in the middle of the harvest season. However, heavy rains at the beginning of the season have raised concerns about the phenomenon of hard rice, affecting the quality of the fruit.

In Lam Dong , farmers are instructed on drainage techniques, blocking shoots and taking care of the fruit at the right stage to limit the durian from having mushy flesh and bitter segments. Lessons from previous seasons have helped growers change their farming methods and protect yields.

Durian exports increase for two consecutive months
