Dragon fruit season, price drops sharply

The price of dragon fruit has remained quite high since after the Lunar New Year until that time. However, for about a month now, dragon fruit has entered the favorable season, with abundant supply leading to a decrease in price.

According to a dragon fruit farmer in Quon Long commune, Cho Gao district, dragon fruit is currently purchased by traders at a price of 9,000 - 10,000 VND/kg. As scheduled, every year around this month, dragon fruit prices drop.

The leader of the Hung Thinh Phat Clean Agriculture Cooperative (Quon Long commune) said that currently, red-fleshed dragon fruit in the garden is purchased by traders at a price of about 10,000 VND/kg. Because it is a favorable season, the supply of dragon fruit is abundant. At this price, farmers have little profit. In particular, white-fleshed dragon fruit is currently priced higher than red-fleshed, at about 17,000 VND/kg. The reason is that the white-fleshed dragon fruit crop is out of season, leading to limited supply.

According to the People's Committee of Cho Gao District, the district currently has about 6,600 hectares of dragon fruit. Of which, the area currently bearing fruit is 5,545 hectares, with a harvest output of 180,000 tons/year. Although the efficiency brought to dragon fruit farmers is high, it is still not stable and sustainable.

Prices are still unstable and depend mainly on traders. There are not many stable and sustainable links between farmers and businesses and cooperatives.
