Monthong Durian Supply is Limited for Exports to China

The volume of Thai monthong durians available for exports to China during W34-35 was about 11 to 30 containers per day, representing a drop from the first half of august when the average available containers for export was 50 containers per day. The decreased export volume caused by heavy rains has caused a price rise to USD 7.42/kg. Forecasts indicate that durian volume will increase in November and December as volumes in Southern Thailand will be available for harvest, which will help prices decrease.
