Recently, durian, known as the "king of fruits", entered the picking season and entered the China market in large quantities from ASEAN countries. As the supply continues to increase, the price of durian gradually drops. On the streets of Nanning, the words "3 in 100 yuan" and "19.8 yuan/kg", which are conspicuous by vendors, are also quite attractive. Many netizens laughed and said, "Guangxi has been watched by the whole country again"!
On May 6th, the reporter visited Guangxi Agricultural Products Trading Center, Ming Xiu East Market, Huqiu Market and other markets and supermarkets, and found that the price of durian dropped a lot compared with when it was first listed, which is a good time for foodies to have a good meal.
The reporter visited: the price of durian is uneven, such as opening a "blind box"
In Huqiu Market, many vendors push tricycles to sell durians along the street, and the price tags on the stalls are particularly eye-catching: "48 yuan, the king of Maoshan, Thailand", "38 yuan, a golden pillow in Thailand, is not for replacement", "55 yuan, an authentic durian golden pillow in Thailand", "Durian 28 yuan/Jin" and "Thai golden pillow 19.8 yuan/Jin".

In the market fruit stalls, the price of durian fell to attract people to buy.
Subsequently, the reporter came to a supermarket in the ASEAN Business District to see that durian was neatly placed in the most conspicuous position in the store, and the price tag was marked with "29.8 yuan/kg", which attracted many citizens to choose.
From a dozen yuan per catty to dozens of yuan per catty, the price of durian is uneven, and many citizens buy durian like "randomly opening a blind box". "These durians are not very good in shape, and we don’t guarantee the sale. The price is a little different from that of Shangchao, but in fact, the taste is the same." On Xianhu Avenue, a vendor pointed to the durian at the booth and introduced it to reporters. At the same time, he also recommended other durians with better appearance. "This is A-grade fruit, and 28 yuan weighs a catty, with better quality."
In addition to the quality grade of durian, the maturity of durian also has a great influence on the price. For example, the nine-ripe durian has the highest price, fresh taste and is very popular; Too ripe durian has lost its taste and its price has fallen; There are also some raw durians and cracked durians, and the prices are relatively cheap.
Dealer: The price of durian dropped in April and May.
The reporter visited and found that the durian varieties in Nanning market are mostly golden pillow durian. In many fruit shops, the retail price of durian is 27 ~ 30 yuan/kg, the high-quality durian can be sold to 35 yuan/kg or more, and some durian used for activities is about 25 yuan/kg.

Some fruit stalls put up the signboard of 55 yuan/a durian in Thailand.
In a farmer’s market in Xianhu, a fruit store held a "Durian Festival" at the entrance of the market in order to drain. Durian from Huang Cancan was placed on several display cases, and the conspicuous price tag "Durian with golden pillow in Thailand is 25.8 yuan/kg" was hung, which attracted many customers to buy it.
Mr. Zhang, the dealer of the store, said that durian can be imported from Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines, of which Thailand accounts for more than 90%. The grades of durian are slightly different in different regions and markets. Take the golden pillow durian in Thailand as an example. The wholesale price of the first-class durian is about 32 kg in 900 yuan, and the wholesale price of the second-class durian is about 32 kg in 800 yuan.

Some mature durians, and even 38 yuan/a special price.
Mr. Zhang said that durian is listed from March to October, in which April and May are the period when durian is listed in large quantities, and the price will also drop accordingly. The price of durian has dropped from 58 yuan/kg just listed to 25.8 yuan/kg now, which is almost 50% off. During the "May Day" holiday, the store held the "Durian Festival", with a daily sales volume of more than 300 boxes, and only the Xianhu store reached 200 boxes/day.
Market expectation: Can domestic durian be listed soon to lower the price?
For a long time, durian has been regarded as a "luxury" in the fruit industry because of its import nature, high transportation and preservation costs, and its price is several times higher than that of ordinary fruit. According to CCTV news reports, at present, the planting area of durian in Hainan is close to 40,000 mu, and it has been bearing fruit one after another. More domestic durian will enter the market in the future. Domestic durian will be listed soon, will it reduce the price of domestic durian and truly realize "durian freedom"?
According to Mr. Zhang, who has worked in the fruit wholesale industry for many years, "domestic durian has just started, and durian will not change from a high-end fruit to a civilian fruit in a short time." He said that the price change of durian is influenced by many factors, including supply and demand, seasonal factors, transportation costs, etc. "It may take time to realize the durian freedom of’ 10 yuan 3 Jin’".
