    In September, Vietnam durian began to import positive trade, breaking the pattern of a single large market in Thailand's fresh durian market, and the import volume continued to rise
    .
    In October, Vietnam's fresh durian imports have surpassed Thailand, becoming the main force
    in the market.
    The price of durian in Vietnam has fallen sharply after experiencing a crazy price increase in the early stage of listing, and it has also led the price of golden pillow durian in Thailand to decline
    .
     
    According to customs statistics, the amount of durian imported in October reached 653 million yuan, an increase of 29.
    4% over the same period last year and 19.
    7%
    from September.
    In terms of import sources, Vietnam's durian imports reached 382 million yuan, while Thailand's imports were 271 million
    .
    This is the first time Thailand has been pulled down in the fresh durian market, and Thailand's fresh durian exports to China fell 41.
    2% in October compared with the same period last year, reaching the lowest amount
    of Thai durian exports to China since 2019.
    Vietnam's durian exports to China increased by 831%
    in October compared with September.
    Among them, the import volume of general trade was 379 million yuan, and the import volume of border trade was 3.
    4 million yuan
    .
     
    In previous years, the market only had Thai gold-pillow durian, and the price remained high
    .
    However, after the arrival of a large number of Vietnamese durians in the market this year, Ganyao durians have gradually become the protagonists of the market, and the market price has also decreased
    .
    Although the quality is slightly inferior to Thai durian, the price is cheaper, which indirectly leads to a sharp decline in the overall durian market
    .
    Recently, the price of Thai gold pillows has fallen by 700-900 yuan from 1,100 yuan per box (32 jin) in September, while the price of Vietnamese Ganyao has dropped from 400 yuan per box (15 jin) just listed to 250-280 yuan, which is about 20% lower than the previous high
    .
     
    Vietnam's concentrated imports of Ganyao combined with its storage-tolerant characteristics are the main reasons
    for this wave of price declines.
    Affected by the epidemic prevention and control, a large number of durians were piled up at the gate in the early stage, and concentrated into the market later, and the maturity was generally high
    .
    Vietnamese Ganyao durian is not tolerant, as long as it is cracked, it must be shipped quickly, and now when the market is in sufficient supply, it can only be sold
    at a reduced price.
    Secondly, the weakening of domestic demand has also affected the price of durian, and since October, major imported durian wholesale markets such as Guangzhou, Zhengzhou, Beijing and Jiaxing have suffered from varying degrees of epidemic lockdown, and the number of market procurement flows has further decreased
    .
    Many fruit retail stores have listed a price of 19.
    9 yuan / jin to attract more consumers
    at civilian prices.
     
    Vietnam Ganyao is a local durian variety in Vietnam, and it is also a variety that has been vigorously promoted by the market in recent years, and the market time is concentrated from November at the end of the year to March of the following year
    .
    It is a medium-to-large fruit type, which can bear fruit after 4 years of grafting, and the tree yield at 5 years is quite high and stable at about 46kg/tree/year
    .
    Its special feature is that tasting at different levels of maturity varies greatly
    .
    For durian beginners, seven ripe is sweet and fragrant, with a little crispy; Eight ripe to eat sweeter and begin to have a strong durian aroma, while nine ripe flesh is not only golden, rich in taste, taste also begins to have a sense of layering, is the best choice
    for heavy taste durian lovers.
     
    From January to October, Thailand's durian exports to China reached 22.
    778 billion yuan, but Vietnam's durian trading into the Chinese market for more than a month undoubtedly challenged Thailand's
    durian market position in China 。 Thailand's Thai Durian Compass Research Center has said that competition from neighboring countries such as Vietnam and Malaysia, coupled with the ongoing durian cultivation trials in China, Thailand's durian market share in China may decline from 95.
    9% in 2021 to 90.
    4% in 2025 and 88.
    1% in 2030, and is expected to decrease by about 17-57 billion baht per year, or a total of 200 billion baht
    , between 2025 and 2030.
