Domestic durian price

Prolonged heavy rains in the Central Highlands have caused durians to become unripe, pushing prices to a record low since the beginning of the season. Many traders have proactively waived their deposits and refused to purchase defective shipments.

In Dak Lak , some gardeners accept to sell for only 17,000 VND/kg to cut losses, while prices below 40,000 VND/kg are considered a loss. Traders said that the jackfruit cannot be exported and they have no choice but to dump it.

In the Central Highlands:

Beautiful Thai durian: 80,000 - 82,000 VND/kg

Thai durian bought in bulk: 40,000 - 42,000 VND/kg

Beautiful RI6 durian: 44,000 - 46,000 VND/kg

RI6 durian in bucket: 25,000 - 28,000 VND/kg

Defective goods (unripe fruit): 17,000 - 35,000 VND/kg (depending on the level of defect)

In the Southwest and Southeast:

Beautiful Thai durian: 76,000 - 84,000 VND/kg

Thai durian bought in bulk: 45,000 - 48,000 VND/kg

Beautiful RI6 durian: 45,000 - 60,000 VND/kg

RI6 durian bought in bulk: 25,000 - 28,000 VND/kg

Actual prices may be lower than listed if the shipment contains unripe or underripe fruit, or if the weather is humid, affecting the quality. Traders are currently very cautious and are willing to forfeit their deposits if they discover defective goods. Gardeners are advised to harvest at the right time and choose carefully to avoid losses due to price pressure.

Durian exports face difficulties due to weather, recovery expected in July

As domestic durian prices plummet, export markets are also facing challenges due to adverse weather conditions. In Singapore, which imports 85% of its durians from Malaysia, the season started late due to heavy rains that prevented the trees from flowering. Growers in Penang state reported lower-than-expected yields but are hopeful of three large harvests in July and August as the weather gradually improves in Pahang.

However, exporters warn that prices could fall by up to 30% next month due to increased supply, while unpredictable weather remains a risk factor. Faced with such pressure, many Malaysian companies have turned to selling via TikTok, boosting home delivery and introducing rare durian varieties such as Xiao Hong and Green Skin to maintain market share.

In Vietnam, durian prices are unlikely to recover in the short term, especially in the Central Highlands, due to prolonged rains that cause the fruit to become unripe. Meanwhile, export markets such as Singapore, China, and the Philippines still maintain high demand, but require strict quality standards. Farmers are advised to harvest at the right time and avoid picking too early to ensure quality and price.
