Why durian has become Vietnam's "fruit king" of exports?

According to information from the Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association, in May 2024, durian export turnover reached 450 million USD, an increase of 107% compared to the previous month and an increase of 34% compared to the same period in 2023.

It is estimated that in June, the amount of exported durian will reach 600 million USD, bringing the total turnover in the first 6 months of the year to 1.5 billion USD.

Vietnamese durian has many advantages such as abundant output, year-round harvest, fast shipping time and reasonable price.

Thus, the "king" of fruits continues to lead the export turnover in the group of exported fruits and vegetables. Currently, the export turnover of durian is 3.5 times higher than that of dragon fruit - the fruit that used to hold the leading position in the group of exported fruits and vegetables of Vietnam./.
