May 28, 2024 | VnExpress |
Thai fruits, including mangosteen, mini durian, snake fruit, and rambutan, are 30-40% cheaper in Vietnam compared to last year due to a high supply. Mangosteen and langsat sell for VND55,000-60,000 per kilogram, while rambutan sells for VND45,000-60,000. Premium fruits like snake fruit and mini durian are also down 40%.

Vietnam's fruit imports from Thailand rose 5% year-on-year in the first four months of 2024.
