Tridge summary

Hairy crab prices in China have significantly dropped, leading to a decrease in prices in Vietnam as well. The price per kilogram has fallen by nearly 30%, with some types now costing as little as VND350,000. This affordability, coupled with increased importation, has made hairy crabs more accessible in Vietnam. Despite the price drop, the quality of lower-priced crabs has been observed to decrease, with less roe and weaker meat. Hairy crabs are known for their delicious taste and luxurious experience, but the quality can vary, especially with the mass farming of lower-grade crabs. Traders recommend October and November as the best months to buy hairy crabs, as this is when the quality is at its highest.
