Durian exports may surpass 3 billion USD this year, according to the Vietnam Vegetable and Fruit Association (Vinafruit). This year, durian prices are likely to surge twice or thrice compared to current prices as traders may rush to purchase the fruit for export, the association predicted. Vietnam earned more than 1.3 billion USD from shipping durian abroad in the first six months of 2024, up 40% year-on-year. Source: Vietnam News Agency
