In the second quarter of 2022, the South will supply about 1.2 million tons of key fruits

Out of 1.2 million tons of fruit, the Southeast region provided 246,600 tons; The Mekong Delta is 943,500 tons.

The COVID-19 epidemic has affected exports dragon fruit and some fruits to China, especially from the last months of 2021 until now. The price of domestic purchase dropped sharply, at one time, white flesh dragon fruit was only from 2,000-3,000 VND/kg, red flesh dragon fruit from 3,000-5,000 VND/kg.

Currently, China continues to strictly control the COVID-19 epidemic, and customs clearance of goods through the border gate is slow, reducing domestic purchasing costs.

Faced with the above situation, some farmers have proactively halted the production of dragon fruit crops to avoid risks.

Currently, the main crops of the Southern region such as durian, mango, rambutan, longan, pomelo, orange, jackfruit, avocado, banana, lemon, na… are being promoted by farmers for production investment, forming a concentrated production areas.
