Thai red pomelo outsells Vietnamese rivals
January 28, 2024 | VnExpress |

Anh plans to purchase the Thai fruit despite its higher price of VND200,000 for a two-kilogram fruit, while Hanh highlights the importance of both taste and appearance for Tet offerings. Kieu Chung, a seller, notes the increased demand for Siam ruby pomelos this Tet, with prices at VND200,000 per kilogram.

This preference for Thai pomelos reflects consumers' desire for quality and aesthetics during the festive season.
