Tridge summary

Vietnamese durian farmers are facing challenges due to a significant drop in price, with the cost of Ri6 durian falling from 85 yuan/kg to 35 yuan/kg. This decline is attributed to increased oversight from importing countries like China, the US, and the EU, as well as internal issues such as heavy metal pollution and a lack of post-production preservation technology.

The industry anticipates a market turnaround with the rise of frozen durian exports to China, particularly during the June-October production season.
