Will Thai durian prices rise again?

According to the durian price forecast for June 29, 2024, the prices of Ri6 durian and Thai durian in the Southwestern region of Vietnam are expected to increase slightly, particularly for Thai durian. Durian prices are showing a slight upward trend again. Representatives from durian-growing regions indicate that unfavorable weather conditions have affected Vietnam's durian yield and production; however, overall production is still increasing thanks to many orchards reaching harvest age.

This year, due to the intense heatwave, durian trees suffered from heat shock, causing many young fruits to fall off, resulting in a sharp decrease in yield. Therefore, durian prices may fluctuate up and down from day to day.

Durian is currently a key agricultural export product, making a significant contribution to the export turnover of Lao Cai province. At Kim Thanh International Road Border Gate No. 2, an average of about 100 trucks carrying fresh fruit for export pass through daily, of which durian accounts for more than 90 trucks, while the rest are other fruits such as dragon fruit, bananas, jackfruit, pomelo, etc.

Currently, the price of Monthong durian fluctuates around 90,000 VND/kg, while Ri6 durian is around 60,000 VND/kg. Each truckload of durian for export can reach a value of 1.1 - 1.5 billion VND. Earlier this year, when durian prices reached 200,000 VND/kg due to the off-season, the value of each export truckload reached 3.5 billion VND.

In Lao Cai, dragon fruit used to be the main export item in terms of both quantity and value. However, nowadays, only a few trucks of dragon fruit are exported each day. Traders now prioritize Lao Cai as the main border gate for exporting durian.
