Is it possible to realize “Durian freedom”?
The price of durian has dropped significantly recently, and this once “luxury product” has gradually become more accessible to people, triggering heated discussions among netizens.
On social media, netizens posted photos of purchased durians and shared their joy after the price reduction. Some netizens said: “I have been reluctant to eat durian due to the high price. Now I can finally achieve ‘durian freedom’.”
Can “Durian Freedom” Really Be Achieved?
On May 8, a durian wholesaler at the Guangzhou Jiangnan Fruit and Vegetable Wholesale Market said that in addition to a slight price increase on Mother’s Day (May 12), the current Durians’ price-cutting wave will continue for some time.
As for the reasons for this round of durian price cuts, a senior person from Pagoda recently said: “On the one hand, it is because the volume of goods from Thailand and Vietnam is concentrated in the market. On the other hand , drought In the production area of Thailand, this means that the ripeness upon arrival is not uniform and there are exploding fruits, so the price must be reduced, resulting in large price differences.”
Tong Wei, director of Xinfadi’s marketing department, said that on the supply side, durians have recently been released into the market in batches and the price has dropped compared to a month ago. This situation will remain stable for some time. He said Malaysia’s entry into the major production season in July should spur a further drop in prices. Malaysia is also actively promoting the entry of fresh durian into the Chinese market.
at the same time,Domestic durians are also accelerating mass production.Currently, the durian cultivation area in Hainan has reached nearly 40,000 acres, and this year’s production has increased two to three times compared to last year, reaching about 200 tons. Although the production is far from market consumption, as domestic durian production gradually increases, the market’s dependence on imported durian will be reduced to a certain extent in the future.
According to Hong Tao, director of the Institute of Business Administration at Beijing University of Technology and Business, the increase in production has led to a drop in prices, which has also led to the launch of many derivatives of the durian and durian related packages. However, he believes itPeople need to rationally consider changes in durian prices and avoid “big ups and downs” by adjusting supply and demand.This keeps the industrial chain and supply chain relatively stable, making the sector healthier and more sustainable.
