For the last few days, the price of off-season durian in the Mekong (Cuu Long) Delta has declined sharply as traders have stopped purchasing the fruit to export to the Chinese market, according to reports in local newspapers.
Though the durian harvest season is in full swing in the Mekong Cuu Long Delta Province of Ben Tre, the price of the fruit remains high since many farmers have switched to growing the fruit in the off-season.
