According to farmers in the town of Thuan An, this year’s yield of mangosteen has increased by 30-40% from previous crops. This year, mangosteen productivity increased, the fruit is beautiful, the quality is good.
Ha, a senior trader who sells fruit in the Ngang Bridge area, said that compared with other fruits, mangosteen always kept a stable price at around 50,000 ₫/kg (€1.87) in the season.
Compared with the same period last year, mangosteen prices remained high this year. At the beginning of the season, type 1 shot up to 85,000-90,000 ₫/kg (€3.17-3.35). Despite the high prices, at markets in Binh Duong and some nearby areas there is no genuine Lai Thieu mangosteen for sale. Demand is high, so for retailers, mangosteen is more profitable than last year.
