The High Freight Costs May Drop the Price of Durian And Mango.

Due to high freight costs 90% of Thai fruit is exported by land; 7-8% by ship, and 1-2% by air. Thai suppliers are concerned that their fruit will not be exported and will be stockpiled, which may drive down the market prices. The effect may be seen in May. For example, durian export price will be likely to drop from USD 3.49/kg to USD 2.91/kg, while the average price of mangosteen is USD 2.91/kg. However, mangoes are being sold well in 2022, with prices increasing by USD 0.29-0.44/kg compared to 2021.
