Durian prices in various regions of Vietnam have dropped sharply, with prices for Thai and Ri6 durian varieties significantly reduced. Despite this, durian exports in November 2023 increased by 16.3% compared to the previous year, with fresh durian exports to the Chinese market leading the way in terms of value. The Vietnam Fruit and Vegetable Association forecasts that durian export turnover in 2023 could reach a record level of 2.2 - 2.3 billion USD, representing a significant increase from previous years.
