Less than 10 yuan a pound of durian

It is understood that in May, many fruits have entered the ripening season. The most lively thing in the Kunming fruit market is the durian wholesale area. In the past two days, the market volume of durian has increased significantly, and the average price has dropped by about 20 yuan per kilogram, and some prices have fallen below 10 yuan per catty. Some wholesalers said that the wholesale price was between 15 yuan and 25 yuan per kilogram in the past two days. In the retail market, people are rushing to buy their favorite durians, and the retail price of durian ranges from 18 yuan to 48 yuan per kilogram depending on the quality.
It's not just Yunnan
In Beijing, the price of durian has also been reduced
"When I came to the store a few days ago, durian was still more than 40 yuan a catty, and I was reluctant to buy it at that time, but today it has dropped to less than 30 yuan." In the Guoduomei supermarket near Tuanjiehu Park in Beijing, Mr. Sun, a citizen, was picking durians, and he picked a 5.1-kilogram Thai golden pillow durian, which cost 152 yuan. Another customer bought a small durian for less than 100 yuan.
On a fresh e-commerce platform platform, the online and offline price of Thai Golden Pillow durian is 25.9 yuan per catty, and the price of Vietnamese Ganyao durian is 23.9 yuan per catty, which is more than 10% lower than before the "May Day". The retail price of durian not only decreased month-on-month, but also fell by about 20% compared with the same period last year.
In the Xinfadi International Durian Museum, there is an endless stream of merchants who come to wholesale durians. According to merchants, the wholesale price of durian has also fallen recently, and according to different grades, the current wholesale price per catty is between 20 yuan and 28 yuan.

Recently, durian, known as the "king of fruits", has entered the peak picking season and is entering the domestic market in large quantities.
As a well-known tropical fruit, durian has countless "fans" in China with its unique flavor. In a fruit store in Nanning City, Guangxi, the store manager Le Wuding told reporters while cutting fruits that during the "May Day" period, the most popular durian in the store was in season, and more than 20 pieces could be sold every day, and the sales volume was 30% more than usual.
The "Qingni Wang" durian, which has just been imported from Thailand, is placed in the most conspicuous position in the store, and many customers are attracted by the durian when they enter the store. "The durian is very fresh and the price is much cheaper, I want to buy two and try it." Ms. Qin, a citizen of Nanning, is a big fan of durian.
In Guangxi's largest fruit wholesale market, Haijixing Agricultural Products International Logistics Center, many merchants listed for sale of "Thai durian" and "Vietnamese durian", and consumers were crowded in front of the booths. "Durian is ushering in the peak sales season, and everyone is very enthusiastic about buying." Wang Nan, the operator of a shop in the market, said.

The reporter visited a number of fruit shops and learned that the current durian price has generally dropped by two to three percent compared with the initial stage of listing. According to industry insiders, with a large number of durians on the market one after another, the trend of "high quality and low price" is expected to continue, and the price may continue to "go all the way down".
Behind the continuous "decline" in durian prices is the rapid development of China-ASEAN agricultural trade. Tropical fruits produced in ASEAN countries were once difficult to enter the Chinese market on a large scale due to limited transportation, storage and other conditions. Today, through the convenient cross-border logistics system between China and ASEAN, ASEAN fruits are entering the tables of Chinese consumers.
Located in Pingxiang City, Guangxi, the Friendship Pass Port is an important land passage for fruits from ASEAN countries to enter China. According to the data, in the first quarter of this year, the mainland imported 48,000 tons of fresh durian through the Friendship Pass port, worth 1.85 billion yuan. Among them, Vietnam's fresh durian imports have grown rapidly, with imports reaching 35,000 tons and a value of 1.28 billion yuan.
At the same time, the perfect cold chain logistics system and the fast-growing e-commerce platform have also provided strong support for the hot sales of durian in the domestic market. Li Youyang, commodity manager of Guangxi Baiguoyuan Technology Co., Ltd., said: "With the continuous improvement of import facilitation and the progress of cold chain preservation technology, the company's durian sales this year have increased by 20% compared with the same period last year, and the price is about three to four percent lower than in previous years, and many stores have been booked out." ”
Liu Minkun, deputy dean of the School of Business Administration of Guangxi University, believes that the popularity of durian in the Chinese market in ASEAN countries is the result of a combination of factors, such as good quality, obvious supply chain advantages, friendly relations, and the rapid development of e-commerce platforms and logistics systems have provided strong support for the hot sales of durian in China.
