The price of green mangosteen has leveled off
Recently, green mangosteen chicken salad has become a “hot spot” in the market. The price of green mangosteen has therefore also increased rapidly. According to demand, in traditional markets or fruit stores, online sales sites for this item are sought after. There are times when the price of pre-peeled mangosteen is up to 500,000 VND/kg but there is no sale.
However, after the peak period, the price of green mangosteen in fruit orchards seems to be cooling down.
Ms. Pham Thi Quynh Nhu, founder of Khoai farm (Phu district Binh Phuoc Galangal) said that this year’s mangosteen crop is partly due to the hot weather, which is good for the trees to grow. If it rains, the fruit will be damaged and of poor quality.
My garden has it More than 100 mangosteen trees each year produce a harvest of more than 1 ton. The first period of the season is about a month ago when the trend consumption green mangosteen skyrocketed in price per kilogram to about 75,000-80,000 VND. Currently, she finds that the price has leveled off, the wholesale price per kilogram is about 35,000-45,000 VND and the retail price is about 40,000-45,000 VND. Ms. Nhu also added that in previous years, the demand for green mangosteen was not much, so her garden did not sell this product, only selling ripe fruit.
Also in Binh Phuoc, it was noted that in Ms. Hai Phuong’s garden (Bu Dang district), the price of green mangosteen is also leveling off. Ms. Phuong said the retail price is about 40,000-45,000 VND per kg and the wholesale price is about 35,000 VND. At the beginning of the season, the price can go up to 55,000 VND/kg, some places even sell it for 70,000-80,000 VND/kg.
Her garden has about a hundred trees, but the green fruit can only be harvested now. Being a wholesaler, we are selling retail to people around the area. The owner of this garden also admitted that this year’s mangosteen crop is good because if there is too much sun, if it rains, the fruit will fall off and spoil with pus.
Picking green fruit has many effects
Both Ms. Nhu and Ms. Phuong said they enjoyed harvesting green mangosteens. According to Ms. Nhu, picking green fruits early is good for the trees and less difficult for people. In the past, when she had to take care of ripe fruit, she spent a lot of effort because she had to watch the weather and was extremely afraid that rain would damage the fruit. With trees, picking green fruit early does not affect the yield or health of the tree.
Ms. Nhu also said that many people are afraid that picking fruit will cause the leaves above the fruit to fall and affect the season. The case after that was not there. “There’s no need to break those two leaves. Picking green leaves is just to take beautiful pictures. When picking, you just break the fruit,” Ms. Nhu affirmed.
Ms. Hai Phuong described the details. more meticulous. Every year, when picking ripe fruit, most of the fruit is high up, so the picker has to tilt his head up, which is very tiring. Rackets used to pick fruit are also difficult to use to pull out fruit. If they fall to the ground, they will be crushed and difficult to sell. With green fruit, harvesting is easier and you don’t have to worry about anything being more expensive and easier to transport. In particular, garden owners like her are predicting that green mangosteen will have good prices this year, so it’s difficult to determine what the fruit will look like when it’s ripe. “I don’t know what will happen in the future, so if 8-10 green fruits sell for 1 kg for 35,000-40,000 VND/kg, I’ll just sell them for sure,” the garden owner said.
Talk withDan Tri Mr. Nguyen Nhu Cuong, Director of the Department of Crop Production (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development) said that it is normal for gardeners to pick green mangosteen to sell according to people’s market demand according to regulations. The law of supply and demand in the market.
For green fruit trees, the need for less nutrition than ripe fruit if picked also helps the tree have better recovery ability. If you cut fruit and also cut off branches that have the potential to bear fruit next year, it will affect the quality of the next crop. Therefore, picking green mangosteen for sale does not affect the tree or its overall growth. According to Mr. Cuong, farmers all have knowledge about agriculture, so they will have appropriate ways of taking care of their plants.
