Thai mangosteen sells for 50% price of local varieties

May 12, 2024 | VnExpress |

Despite low prices due to oversupply, Thai mangosteen is selling well in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Oanh, a merchant at Xom Moi market, notes improved quality this year, selling 30-50 kilograms daily. Imported mangosteen prices have dropped to VND100,000-200,000 per kilogram. Lan Anh, another seller, confirms Thai mangosteen's popularity over local varieties. A wholesale market in Thu Duc City has imported 260 tons recently and expects further price drops with increased imports.

Meanwhile, Vietnamese mangosteen prices are up 15% due to low supply, with the season just starting. Demand for peeled unripe mangosteen, used in chicken salad, has also risen. Despite its thick skin making it suitable for long-distance shipping, limited cultivation areas and labor-intensive harvesting deter Vietnamese farmers. Mangosteen is grown in Can Tho, Binh Duong, Ben Tre, and several other provinces. Thailand, with 80,000 hectares, remains a leading global producer.
