The truth about the red ruby ​​that 'dyes' Vietnamese markets; Soi Ha grapefruit costs 2,000 VND/fruit

Traders reveal the truth about the type of ruby ​​that is 'dying red' Vietnamese markets

Since early October, pearl jelly has “dyed red” from traditional markets to online markets. Traders advertise pearl jelly as having fruits as small as lemons with an eye-catching bright red color. When ripe, the pink flesh is fragrant, clear like jelly, sweet and crunchy.

The price of rose quartz that is "making waves" in the Vietnamese market ranges from 60,000-100,000 VND/kg. This price is quite high compared to other types of rose quartz sold on the market today.

Many people mistakenly think this is a specialty ancient rose in Nam Dan (Nghe An), because the shape and color are quite similar. However, according to traders, most of the pearl jelly rose sold on the market today is Chinese, and there are not many ancient roses in Nam Dan. (See details)

Soi Ha grapefruit costs 2,000 VND/fruit and is sold everywhere in the market, cheaper than Chinese goods.

Soi Ha grapefruit, a specialty of Tuyen Quang with shiny yellow skin and plump segments, is being sold in many markets for only 2,000 VND/fruit, and even cheaper if you buy a whole bag. This price of Soi Ha grapefruit is even cheaper than Chinese grapefruit sold in Vietnamese markets.

According to Ms. Le Minh Phuong and many other traders, in recent years, people have expanded the area of ​​Soi Ha grapefruit cultivation. This grapefruit variety bears a lot of fruit, and during the harvest season, it is mainly consumed in the domestic market. Therefore, when the supply is abundant, the price of grapefruit is also getting cheaper. (See details)

After milk grapes, another “noble” grape variety is being expanded in China. This grape variety is flooding the Vietnamese market at a super cheap price compared to Japanese products.

But after China expanded its growing area and brought it to the Vietnamese market for sale, this "noble" grape variety went from being expensive to becoming popular.

In online fruit wholesale markets, Chinese red milk grapes are offered for only 550,000 VND/9kg box. In total, 1kg of these grapes costs only 61,000 VND. (See details)
