Will Thai durian prices continue their upward trend?

According to the durian price forecast for June 24, 2024, the prices of Ri6 durian and Thai durian in the Southwestern region of Vietnam will continue to increase slightly.

Durian prices are showing a slight upward trend again because the supply of ripe durians ready for harvest in the Mekong Delta region is currently very low. According to representatives of durian-growing regions, unfavorable weather conditions have also affected the yield and production of durian in Vietnam; however, the total production in Vietnam is still increasing thanks to many orchards entering the harvesting age.

Durian price forecast for June 24th: Will Thai durian continue its upward trend?

Prices at the farm will be 3,000-5,000 VND/kg lower than the prices updated at the wholesale market, depending on the purchasing method used by traders (bulk purchase or selective purchase).
