This is the highest price in more than 5 years when Thai jackfruit set a record, sold for 50,000 VND/kg in 2018 and then dropped dramatically in price.
Plums with high prices are still “out of stock”.
Off-season plums are being sought after by many women to enjoy. According to Nong Thu Viet, no matter how much traders have, they are not enough to sell.
Ms. Quynh – a fruit seller in Son La – said that plums are in season around May and June. At other times of the year, plums are harvested in the off-season. Previously, Son La people did not know how to cultivate and care for off-season plums, so the quantity obtained was very small and the price also pushed up. In recent years, people have learned to cultivate plums in the off-season, so the quantity is greater than before and the fruits are delicious and big.
Ms. Quynh divided them into many different types for sale. Small ones or unsightly designs will have the lowest price of only a few tens of thousands of dong per kilo. Large, even and beautifully designed fruit will have a selling price ranging from 100-120 thousand VND/kg. VIP fruits are “huge” sized fruits, just over 20 fruits per kilogram will be sold at the highest price. At this time, the VIP type is being sold for nearly 200,000 VND/kg.
Expensive air tickets continue to increase, domestic travel is ‘impatient’
Airfare prices have increased since last year and are now at risk of becoming more expensive due to the increase in ceiling prices from 1/3. Accordingly, the ceiling price of domestic air tickets on most routes will increase by 3.7-6.7% from March 1. In particular, the highest price is up to 4 million VND for flights over 1,280 km long, such as Hanoi – Phu Quoc, Hanoi – Ho Chi Minh City,… an increase of 250,000 VND compared to the present. During the summer tourism peak, this is a factor that can cause domestic airfare prices to increase due to a sudden increase in travel demand.
Travel companies are insecure, impatiently waiting for a reaction from the market and worried that domestic tourists will flock to travel abroad again. (See more)
