Just a few hours ago, Mr. Pham Van Thieu from Nhi Chau Ward, Hai Duong City, posted a video of his family cutting open a 54.5 kg jackfruit on his personal page. The giant jackfruit, harvested a week ago, amazed people with its massive size. Many people offered to buy it, but Mr. Thieu refused to sell, waiting for it to ripen so he could share it with his family and neighbors.

In the video, a man struggles to cut open the enormous jackfruit with a knife that seems minuscule in comparison. With the help of 3-4 people and two knives, they finally manage to split it open, revealing the bright yellow flesh inside.
Those who witnessed the cutting were astonished and exclaimed in delight at the sight of the evenly sized, thick, and long jackfruit bulbs, almost the size of an adult’s hand. People tasted the jackfruit on the spot and praised its delicious flavor—sweet and fragrant, even the fibrous parts were tasty.

Within a few hours of posting, Mr. Thieu’s video received nearly 20,000 views. Netizens were also excited and thrilled, as they had been waiting to witness this fascinating moment in the past few days.
Previously, the video of harvesting the 54.5 kg jackfruit had received about 8 million views on Tiktok.
It is known that Mr. Thieu has been growing three jackfruit trees for eight years, and they started bearing fruit three years ago. Out of the three trees, only one produces “super large” fruits. In previous years, the trees yielded large fruits, but this year’s peak was a 54.5 kg jackfruit. Mr. Thieu takes care of the jackfruit trees as usual and believes that the size of the fruit is due to the variety.
Amidst the dry season, Tiền Giang orchard flourishes with a bountiful harvest of jackfruit.
Despite the peak of drought and the deep intrusion of saltwater, many farmers in Tien Giang province still have a high income from the model of growing jackfruit. This is one of the top 3 fruit-bearing trees with the highest economic efficiency in Tien Giang province.
