In recent days, many kinds of fruits in the Mekong Delta are sold on the roads in Ninh Kieu district, Can Tho city at low prices. Many places piled up durians for sale for only 40,000 VND/kg.
According to the Departments of Agriculture and Rural Development of the Mekong Delta provinces, this year the prices of many kinds of mangoes, jackfruits and citrus fruits have been reduced by an increase in supply because farmers have expanded the planting area recently.
The price of many fruits decreased not only because the supply increased due to the beginning of the season, but this year the export output of many fruits was difficult due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic.
In addition, another reason is that the market has price competition among many varieties of fruit.
However, product output is still highly dependent on the consumption of fresh fruit in the domestic market and some export markets.
Thai jackfruit purchased at the garden is currently at a very low price.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tuan (57 years old, Chau Thanh district, Hau Giang province), said that he and his relatives here are currently standing still because in the past few days, traders have come to the garden to buy jackfruit for only 3,000 VND/kg. The reason given by the trader is that the fruit is bad, the market cannot be eaten, the barn cannot be eaten, and it cannot be exported…
“The price of fertilizers and gasoline has increased, now add the part of traders who push the price. The farmer only has a few silver coins left,” Mr. Tuan said.
Thanh tea is at the end of the season, scarce but the price has not increased.
According to PV’s record, in addition to jackfruit, the price of many fruits such as strawberry, custard apple, rambutan, durian, mangosteen, orange tree, mango, avocado, litchi… decreased by at least 5,000-30,000 VND/kg compared to the previous year. with 1 month ago.

Litchi from the Northern provinces have also decreased in price by about 30,000 VND/kg. The volume of goods to the market has increased sharply.
