| Durian price today: Musang King durian price drops sharply |
A farmer in Dak Lak owns 100 7-year-old durian trees, which yield 2.5 tons of small fruits weighing 1.2-2.5 kg. This yield is 5-6 times lower than that of Monthong and Ri 6 durian varieties. They sell the whole garden for only 80,000 VND per kg, down 46% compared to last year. Meanwhile, Monthong is priced at 95,000 VND by traders.
A garden owner in Tien Giang also said that the profit from Musang King is far less than Ri 6 due to low yield and sharp price drop. The cost of care is high, each tree yields about 50 kg, while Ri 6 reaches 100-250 kg.
Many growers in Dak Lak, Can Tho, and Tien Giang are also facing similar difficulties. They plan to stop growing this durian variety and switch to Monthong and Ri 6 after losing billions of dong. The retail price of Musang King durian has also decreased by half compared to last year. Mini fruits weighing 1-1.2 kg are sold for 120,000-140,000 VND each. Grade A products (2.7 compartments, weighing 2.5-4 kg) are about 150,000-180,000 VND per kg, while the peeled type is 380,000-400,000 VND per kg. Explaining why the durian variety, once considered the most expensive in the world, has now fallen sharply in price, traders in Ho Chi Minh City said that it is partly due to the uneven quality of this variety, with many fruits being mushy and unripe due to the rain.
