As of June 28, according to NLD reporters, the price of export-standard Ri 6 durians in the Southeast region reached a high of 42,000 VND (grade A) and 27,000 VND/kg (grade B); export-standard Monthong durians were priced at 75,000 VND/kg for grade A and 55,000 VND/kg for grade B.
Compared to late May 2025, the price of Monthong durians has dropped by approximately 8,000 VND/kg, while Ri 6 durians have seen a more significant decrease of 16,000 VND/kg.
“The price of durians in China remains favorable, but the issue is that Vietnam doesn’t have a sufficient supply of export-quality durians,” said Mr. Nguyen Van Muoi, Vice Secretary-General of the Vietnam Vegetables and Fruits Association.
He attributed the current situation to the rainy season, which often results in durians becoming overripe and less desirable.

As a result, a significant portion of the durians are categorized as grades C and D, or even lower, leading to lower prices for farmers during this harvest season.
Some traders also shared that they were hesitant to offer prices for durians in the gardens due to the high proportion of lower-quality fruits, which could result in potential losses after sorting.
In the domestic market, durian prices vary from 50,000 to 120,000 VND/kg depending on quality, cultivation practices, and the point of sale.
Some suppliers even go as far as organizing durian buffet events in supermarkets, charging 199,000 VND per person for an hour of all-you-can-eat durians. With this pricing strategy, the retail price of grade A durians works out to be only 60,000 VND/kg (whole fruit), indicating that the supplier prioritizes promotion over profit.
