The price of Ri6 durian has also gone up to VND55,000-58,000 per kilogram.

Earlier this month, prices were 20-30% lower than last year. Monthong durians were VND46,000-68,000 and Ri6 were VND28,000-38,000.

Vietnam exported $4.76 billion in fruits and vegetables in seven months. This is 23% more than last year. In July, exports rose 38% to $1.06 billion. Vietnam exports a lot of fruits and vegetables.

Dang Phuc Nguyen says durians are more than half of all exports and are growing fast.

Vietnamese durians used to compete with Thailand. Now Thailand's season is over, and Vietnam is the main supplier. This helps Vietnam.

A new policy helps agricultural exports get cleared faster at borders, even on holidays. This also helps exports.

The Central Highlands is starting its durian season, which will last until September or October. Exports are usually highest during this time.
