Durian is a particularly rare fruit in the minds of many people, and it has a good reputation and is known as the king of fruits. However, its price always feels extravagant, and even if it tastes a little stinky, there are still many people who like its strange taste. Many people buy durian with the mentality of opening a blind box to see how much pulp can be opened at the bottom. Durian, which used to cost tens of yuan, is now sold on the streets of Thailand, what is going on?

1. Durian prices plummeted
There are not a few people who like to eat durian, every time they buy, everyone has to think about whether the money in their wallets is enough, and every time a durian costs hundreds of yuan, many people always choose a small one when they buy. Even if you know that the small flesh is less, but the big one can't afford it.
Today's durian can be bought for less than 100 yuan, which is definitely good news for people who like to eat durian. Durian is a unique fruit grown in Southeast Asia, the price is relatively high, and a large part of the reason why the durian we eat is expensive is imported.
Finally breaking the monopoly of durian, the durian market in Southeast Asia has been monopolized for a long time, as the economic industry of Southeast Asia, durian is the treasure in their minds. As one of the many imported fruits, durian is undoubtedly the most popular.
Looking back, the number of durians imported by China has reached 82 tons since 2021, and it is the huge demand that Thailand and Vietnam saw the market, so they controlled the price of durian.
Since everyone likes to eat durian so much, China's agricultural and forestry scientists have begun to study how to grow durian in their own country, so that ordinary people can afford to eat durian without relying on imports.
Second, the mass production of local durian has been realized
After all, durian grows in hot places, so Hainan is more suitable, and with the efforts of scientific researchers, technological breakthroughs have been made one after another. In 2019, a durian plant that had been planted for more than 60 years bloomed and bore fruit, giving researchers confidence that finally there was hope for our native durian.
Researchers continue to study durian, starting from seedlings, planting, grafting and other places, and finally realize the large-scale planting of durian. Not only has it cultivated the Maoshan durian that everyone loves to eat, but there are also many unique varieties, such as the red-fleshed durian, which subverts everyone's perception of durian pulp.
As of 2024, Hainan's local durian has directly achieved mass production, and the scale has exceeded 2.5 million tons. Under a series of data, it is the result of the efforts of scientific researchers, when the Chinese durian stands up, it must be a heavy blow to Thailand and Vietnam, there are many durians on the market, the price of domestic durian is cheap, is there still a market for imported durian?
Many people visited the large fruit market in the south and saw that the wholesale price of durian is now 20 yuan a catty, and the price is bound to be bought by many people. Some tourists have seen on the streets of Thailand and Vietnam that the price of durian has plummeted, and compared with the same period, this year's imports have dropped by more than 30%, which means that many of the durians we eat now are grown in our own countries.
The Chinese market itself has good prospects, if durian can be mass-produced in the country, it will definitely not only rely on imports, Thailand and Vietnam are in a relatively poor situation, after all, the price of the baby in their hearts is low. In the case of its own monopoly, there are always people looking for new directions, opening up the market for imports, thereby reducing competition and constantly cultivating high-quality varieties.
The change of durian is related to many factors, and now its plunge has just begun, after all, in people's hearts now, the price of durian is relatively expensive. In the future, it will move from a niche fruit to a popular one, believing that its value can be recognized by people.
Summary: It seems to be a change in fruits, but in fact, it reflects that there are many factors in the market, and the investment and breakthrough of technology have driven many factors. I hope that in the future, on our table, durian will become an ordinary fruit like apples and bananas, rather than a noble fruit, and everyone can't afford it.
