“In previous years, my husband and I often bought the whole garden, from when the lychee was still green until harvest, we would sell it to traders. Now the lychee is in the right season for the outbreak, so my husband and I decided to switch to drying and selling dry cloth. Because it was too urgent, I didn’t have time to make a drying oven, so after I harvested fresh lychees, I rented them to dry them and then sell them on my personal page as well as online market groups,” Thuy said. The price of dried fabric is halved compared to every year Ms. Thuy said that the drying time for a batch of fabric ranges from 5 to 6 days, depending on the drying process of each kiln owner. A satisfactory batch of dried lychee is that the lychee fruit must have uniform color, sharp sweetness, flexibility and a very characteristic aroma. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the price of dried lychee this year is much lower than every year. According to Ms. Thuy, in previous years, the average price of dried lychee was from 120,000-150,000 VND/kg, this year the price fluctuates around 60,000 VND/kg. This price is for Thuy and her husband to make it public on their sales page. She and her husband only do wholesale, not retail, with a minimum order of 10kg. Customers taking in large quantities, from 50kg or more, I will reduce the price a little more. “Because I have been selling for nearly 15 years, the number of regular customers is very large. There are customers who order immediately at 2-3 quintals, on average I output about 4 quintals a day. In less than a week, I sold 1.5 tons of dried lychees,” she said. Thuy and her husband only wholesale dried cloth for customers who buy 10kg or more “Actually, this year, I switched to selling dried lychees like this and didn’t make much profit. However, due to the Covid-19 epidemic, I want to join hands so that litchi growers don’t suffer much damage.” The woman shared that if the dried fabric meets the standards, it can be preserved for a whole year. Dried lychee can be used to eat directly, soak in alcohol or use to cook tea, as a spice for traditional Chinese medicine. How to choose a drying cloth In the market, there are many establishments that sell dried fabrics, but to choose quality dried fabrics, it is necessary to pay attention to buy them at reputable addresses. The dried fruit must be large, the outer skin is dry evenly, keep its shape or slightly dented. Dried fabric can be kept for a long time Especially when peeling, the lychee must be flexible, have a characteristic aroma, sweet taste, peel off without sticking to your hands, and have a dark color of cockroach wings. Long litchi with black color means it has been burnt, while long with light brown color means that it has not been dried enough, must be used immediately and cannot be stored for a long time. Methods of preservation In order to preserve the dried fabric for a long time, when we buy the fabric, we dry it under 2 or 3 times in the sun. During the drying process, pay attention to turning the fabric to the sun, and the fabric to dry evenly. Then put it in the shade to dry in the wind for another 3, 4 days, then put it in a tightly tied plastic bag. When storing, about 2-3 months, you should open the cloth bag to check the probability of a few fruits to see if the dried fabric is still of good quality or has been moldy, damaged or opaque. If you store a lot, every few months, you should take the fabric out to dry in the sun and follow the exact same preservation process for the first time, thus ensuring that the dried fabric can be kept delicious and nutritious for years to come.

Diep and his wife have 3 children. Her children are all grown up: the oldest one is in 12th grade, the second one is in 10th grade and the younger one is in 7th grade. In addition, her family has a 30-year-old brother from the countryside who moved to Hanoi to work with her. In total, her family has a total of 6 members. In the past, Ms. Diep used to go to the market every day, or at least once every two days. However, she finds going to the market by day is time consuming and has no control over the market money. Therefore, her family’s monthly expenditure on food is always above 10 million VND/month. Going to the wholesale market, Ms. Diep saves 2-3 million per month (illustration image) “Every day, our family eats 3 meals, it costs about 250,000-300,000 VND. Weekends are slightly better, have to be 400,000 VND / day because I buy more chickens and ducks, fresh food improves. Therefore, my family’s monthly market money is about ten million dong. Also, every day I have to carry the lane to the market, calculate the daily dishes. Many days have busy work, not in time in the morning, then come home late in the afternoon and still rush to go to the market,” Ms. Diep said. Seeing that it is inconvenient to go to the market by day and to reduce the cost of food during the epidemic season, Ms. Diep decided to go to the wholesale market on a weekly basis. “I see that my colleague’s house goes to the market on a weekly basis, which is both cheap, can buy a variety of foods, and saves a lot of time. She suggested going to the wholesale market every weekend to buy all kinds of shrimp, crab, fish, vegetables, etc., for preliminary processing, breaking them into small meals for the refrigerator to eat gradually, which is very convenient.” Listening to your advice, Ms. Diep has gone to the wholesale market once a week for several months. Each time, she brings 1 million dong or a little more. She often goes to the 365 wholesale market and the Duong Noi wholesale market, every Saturday. “In Ha Dong, there are many markets for people’s living and toad markets. However, to buy cheap food, I often go to market 365 to buy meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. Especially vegetables in this market are very cheap. When I go to Duong Noi wholesale market, I buy poultry and seafood. So, I only need 1 million to buy enough fresh food to eat for a whole week,” said Ms. Diep. Specifically, when going to the two wholesale markets above, Ms. Diep often buys the following foods: 1kg of beef: 160,000 VND 1kg of shrimp: 135,000 VND 2 kg of lean shoulder meat: The price of pork has cooled down a lot, so it’s only 110,000 VND/kg, buying 2kg is only 220,000 VND. 1 kg she asked the seller to grind, 1 kg she divided into 3 pieces for storage or roasting. 2 dozen eggs: 40,000 VND 1 chicken about 2kg: 180,000 VND 1.5kg of industrial chicken wings: 120,000 VND 3kg of drifting fish: 90,000 VND (type 1 kg/fish) In addition, vegetables: 1kg of potatoes: 20,000 VND; 1kg beans, 1kg chayote: 30,000 VND; water spinach, amaranth, spinach: 30,000 VND Fruits: 1kg of plums: 30,000 VND; 2kg watermelon: 30,000 VND; 2kg mango: 30,000 VND. Total: Over 1 million VND/week fixed. Of course, you still have to add a little fresh food every day, but not too big. Thus, with an amount of more than 1 million VND, Ms. Diep was able to buy quite a lot of food with enough meat, shrimp, fish and vegetables. After that, she washed, processed into small meals and stored in the refrigerator. “1kg of pork, I divided into 3 meals. 1.5kg chicken wings also divided into 3 meals. My fish is divided into 4 meals. When you like to eat cooked fish, cook it with sour or pickle. When I like to eat stock, I will go to the neighboring warehouse. My beef is also divided into small pieces to stir-fry onions and garlic or to dip noodles for breakfast. As for our chicken, we usually boil it, the meat is removed to cook chicken noodle soup in the morning to eat at home. Every day, I just need to buy more food or other condiments such as onions, tofu, and fruit if needed,” said Ms. Diep. Calculating, three meals a day at home, but this young family of 5 costs about 150,000 VND/day. For the whole month, adding fresh food and other complementary foods, Ms. Diep’s family spent about 6 million VND to go to the market, saving 3 million compared to before. According to Ms. Diep, in addition to going to the wholesale market at the end of each week, in order to save maximum spending, each sister herself needs to know how to create menus when cooking, helping to make family dishes more diverse. “It is important that the 7-day menu is not duplicated, changes dishes continuously. Because food is just around the corner, if you don’t know how to process it, the dishes on the rice tray will be very monotonous,” she said.

Cheap, even super cheap, only a few thousand dong, rich in color and attractive flavor, these ice cream sticks are sought after by many people without knowing the origin and quality. In the summer, Chinese domestic ice cream is extremely popular food, especially in the online market. At an online store specializing in selling ice cream on Giai Phong street, the ice cream is priced at 4000 VND / 1 stick with many different flavors, every day this place sells about 40 boxes of goods, equivalent to 1600 ice cream sticks. According to the seller, at this time, Vietnam’s epidemic situation is tense, goods are difficult to return, which makes these creams even more popular in the Hanoi market. In Phu Luong Ward – Ha Dong – ice cream warehouse specializes in wholesale pouring for most of the inner districts of Hanoi. Since the epidemic, Vietnam – China border gates are very limited in import and export. However, here, this product advertised as a Chinese domestic product has a very regular volume, 200 boxes of ice cream are imported and exported every day. in which the sunflower-covered chocolate ice cream is the best-selling item It is known that this Chinese ice cream has nearly a hundred different flavors depending on the source of each warehouse. Among them, there are also many products that are of poor quality that are mixed and sold by small traders. The mixing ratio is more or less, depending on the selling price of the warehouse with the price from 110k-140k/1 box of 40 ice cream sticks. In fact, all of these products are imported into Vietnam through a small quota, so there are no documents on the source of goods as well as product quality control. Therefore, many small traders in Hanoi have to open many warehouses, in order to divide the source of goods, to bypass the competent forces. After peeling off the skin, this cream is colorful, heavy with aromas. For products of unknown origin, with such vibrant colors and many flavors, there are many potential risks of additives and colors that can be harmful to users’ health. Ice cream is an indispensable product to help cool down on hot days. However, besides the guaranteed products, there are also many poor quality products that are mixed into the market. Therefore, to protect the health of themselves and their families, users should choose products of origin and should prioritize natural flavors instead of toxic and strange chemical flavors.

According to the clues, this is a Chinese peach, the outer skin is dark red, the inside is yellow, the sweet crunchy taste is no different from the Vietnamese peach. Due to the strange look, large fruit, and beautiful code, this peach is being bought by housewives to eat. In many places, goods cannot be sold in time, even in a state of being sold out because of overload. Hoai Phuong – a wholesaler specializing in this product in Lao Cai – confirmed that the red peaches that are causing a fever, which are being sold widely recently, are peaches in Mong Tu (China). Yesterday’s shipment was about 1 ton, she was sold out. Strange peaches with dark red skin are flooding the Vietnamese market this time Every year, Ms. Phuong often sells Chinese smooth peaches, fairy peaches and blue-shelled crow beaks, while she is selling the deep red crow beak – also known as red feathered peaches – this year. Compared with other types of peaches of Vietnam and China, the price of this type of peach is 2-3 times higher. “I poured wholesale from a box for 360,000-380,000 VND/barrel (7kg), calculated to cost 51,000-54,000 VND/kg, of which the small type is 4-5 fruits/kg, the large type is 3 fruits/kg.” . She said and said, at the beginning of the season, the fruit is beautiful, crispy and sweet, not pale, sour or soft like at the end of the season, so the goods are as expensive as fresh shrimp, wholesale customers are ordering a lot. Ms. Nguyen Thi Ngan – a focal point selling fruit in Vinh Phuc, admitted that the strange peaches with dark red skins being sold on the market today are Chinese domestic peaches. This peach is sweeter and more fragrant than other peaches, so this time I sell very attractively, up to a few quintals per day, many days sell a ton, even the goods do not arrive in time to sell,” she advertised. Not only selling to wholesalers in the province and surrounding areas, she also specializes in wholesale to Hanoi for 370,000-390,000 VND/barrel (7-9kg). Customers taking more quantity will get a discount price. For example, if you get from 5 crates of crow mining, it will cost 350,000 VND/barrel (7kg), taken from 10 boxes will cost 335,000 VND/barrel. This peach has a dark red skin on the outside, and the inside will turn from white to yellow when ripe In the market, this red peach is very expensive Customers buy less, then a few boxes, buy up to dozens of boxes. Many customers who did not book early had to wait for the goods to return to the next trip, Ngan said. As a focal point specializing in selling fruit online in Ton Duc Thang (Dong Da, Hanoi), Ms. Nguyen Huyen Trang admits that, although she has only sold this type of crow mine for a week, due to its beautiful and fancy design, many women I am curious to buy and try. Every day she returns about 60-70kg, many days only selling until about half an hour is sold out, because the goods are only enough to order for customers who have pre-ordered, rarely have a surplus. According to her, this is a “hot” product of this year’s peach season, so the price is quite expensive, up to 3 times more expensive than peaches sold in the market. Although the retail price is up to 100,000 VND/kg, customers order a lot. Most people buy 2-3kg at a time to eat, make peach tea or bring as gifts. Ms. Trang also confirmed that this is a peach of Chinese origin, not a Sapa peach or a red Ha Giang peach. However, this is a guaranteed domestic product, not a floating market, so many women trust to buy it on this occasion, she added.

Following the above decrease, the price of thin pork (wholesale pig/jaw) of grades 1 and 2 also dropped sharply by about 12,000-15,000 VND/kg, to 85,000 VND/kg grade 1 and 78,000 VND/kg grade 2, respectively. However, the price of mixed pork belly has not decreased much, only about 5,000 VND/kg. Specifically, the previous sausage from 90,000 VND/kg to 85,000 VND/kg; drumstick drumsticks 85,000 VND/kg to 80,000 VND/kg, lean chips 110,000 VND/kg to 105,000 VND/kg. Particularly, young ribs still keep the price of 150,000 VND/kg, while before it was at 145,000 VND/kg. Explaining the above disproportionate price reduction, Mr. Tien said that normally, when the price of pigs goes down, the price of thin pigs will also drop directly, even if the reduction is more than the price of live pigs. Particularly, mixed pork usually does not decrease immediately, but gradually, on the contrary, the increase will also be gradual because traders and traders have signed contracts with each other in advance for a fixed period of time. Retail pork prices are still high, making consumers wonder. That is also the reason why small traders in some retail markets said that the price of pork of all kinds they sold has not decreased much, some places only decreased by about 5,000 – 10,000 VND/kg. Co Nhi, a small pork trader at Go Vap market (HCMC), said that for more than a week now, she has been importing wholesale pork at a high, unchanged price, about 117,000 – 125,000 VND/kg. Therefore, the retail price of pork remains high: young ribs 180,000-190,000 VND/kg, bacon 155,000 – 160,000 VND/kg, thighs 110,000 – 120,000 VND/kg… “The wholesale price of pork has not decreased, so I still keep the selling price. Prices of ham, ribs, and bacon are still high, so customers buy less and consumption is slow. Accordingly, the amount of imported goods also decreased from 100 kg/day to only 40 kg/day. Only when the wholesale price of imported pork and snakehead meat decreases, the retail price will decrease accordingly, which can stimulate buyers to increase pork consumption again,” Ms. Nhi said. Mr. Nguyen Dang Phu – Deputy General Director of Vietnam Vissan Animal Industry Joint Stock Company, also assessed that the sales force for pork products is currently very slow, the company has to reduce the price of all kinds of young ribs and cutlets by 15%. , pork belly pulled ribs… to stimulate purchasing power. Meanwhile, in the same market, the price of pork varies from place to place. At Base Market 26A (Go Vap District, some stalls quote the price of young ribs VND 165,000/kg, bacon 120,000 VND/kg, thighs 100,000 VND/kg… But another stall is not far away, the seller quoted the price. higher than 20,000 – 25,000 VND/kg, specifically: 180,000 VND/kg baby ribs, 140,000 VND/kg bacon, 120,000 VND/kg thighs… As explained by the small traders, the retail price of pork depends on each market, both wholesale and retail markets. At the beginning of the session (3 – 4 am) pork prices will be high and prices will decrease at the end of the session (6 – 7 am). Some retail sellers will watch out for wholesale markets to import “dropped goods” at cheap prices and sell cheaply to push goods; and those who import goods early, the meat is delicious, the price is higher, so they are forced to retail at a high price. “This whole week, I imported thin pigs with a constant price of 105,000 VND/kg, not 78,000 – 85,000 VND/kg. Not to mention, the purchasing power is slow, there is still a lot of meat left in the afternoon so I have to sell it all cheaply to the shops; The price at the beginning of the session, at the end of the session, is not much profit,” explained Ms. Thuyen – selling pork at Cho Base 26A. As noted by us, meat prices at some slaughterhouses also remained high. For example, in Vissan, even after the reduction of pork, it is still quite high. Pork ribs 275,000 VND/kg reduced to 210,000 VND/kg, pork belly 205,000 VND/kg reduced to 175,000 VND/kg, thigh meat 166,000 VND/kg reduced to 145,000 VND/kg… Branded packaged pork… Meat Deli is even higher: thigh 152,000 VND/kg, pork belly 192,000 VND/kg, cutlet 124,000 VND/kg, pork leg boneless 160,000 VND/kg… (According to Women in HCMC)

Not to mention, the time when snow crab legs are imported to Vietnam, the quantity of goods is scarce, so buyers often have to order a few days or a week in advance. However, these days, frozen Canadian snow crab legs are being sold in abundance at unprecedented prices. The sellers advertise, this type of crab legs is the leg plus body part from the snow crab. The weight of crab legs usually ranges from 3-4 clusters of legs/kg with prices ranging from 300,000 to 380,000 VND/kg. Frozen snow crab legs are being sold in the market (photo: NVCC) Because the price is cheaper than Vietnamese dong crabs, on this occasion, snow crab legs are favored by housewives, and some people even buy a whole 5kg box to be charged wholesale. Ms. Hoang Ngoc Anh from Kim Nguu (Hai Ba Trung, Hanoi) said that she has never been able to buy snow crab legs at such low prices as on this occasion. According to Anh, the long and big snow crab legs are the most delicious part of this crab. Remove the outer shell, the inside of the snow crab’s leg is full of white meat and has a sweet, chewy taste. Before, she had to buy it for nearly 800,000 VND/kg (4-5 foot clusters/kg), now it’s only 350,000 VND/kg (3 foot clusters/kg). “If this crab leg is roasted with tamarind, just cut it according to the leg joint or leave the roasted leg whole. And if to stir-fry pieces, make spring rolls, it’s easy to separate the meat inside because the crab legs are big,” she said. Her children quite like to eat crabs, so on this occasion, she often buys a whole 5kg carton, because buying a lot will be cheaper than buying individually by weight. Ms. Bui Le Phuong Thao in Phu Nhuan (HCMC) also said that recently, snow crab legs are not only cheap but also very easy to order. Imported snow crab legs are currently quite cheap (photo: NVCC) If before, if you want to enjoy steamed snow crab legs with salt and pepper, you usually have to order it at the marine store and then wait 2-3 days to have it. Now, eat as much as you want, order 30 minutes later, the crab legs have been delivered to your door. “Purchasing 1kg retail costs 400,000 VND, but buying 1 carton of 5 kg costs only 300,000 VND/kg, which is much cheaper than buying retail. Moreover, the store also offers free shipping,” she said. Talk to PV. VietNamNet, Mr. Dinh Cong Tuan – the focal point of selling imported snow crab legs in District 2 (HCMC) – shared, the supply is abundant, the imported goods to Vietnam are many, so the price has dropped sharply. He is retailing snow crab legs with 3 clusters of legs/kg for 420,000 VND/kg, and wholesales 1 carton of 5 kg for 300,000 VND/kg. According to him, snow crab legs are extremely popular because not only restaurants and eateries buy for processing, but retail customers also buy a lot to eat. Like today, both wholesale and retail increased dramatically, he consumed nearly 4 quintals of crab legs. If calculated by week, the amount of crab legs sold from 1-1.5 tons. Imported crab legs are being bought by housewives (photo: NVCC) Ms. Pham Thuy Lien – wholesaler of imported seafood in Phu Nhuan (HCMC) said that there are two types of snow crabs imported into Vietnam, which are from Japan and Canada. However, seafood traders like her often choose goods imported from Canada because they have good prices and the supply is also more abundant than Japanese goods. In particular, compared to the expensive imported whole, snow crab legs are much cheaper. Compared to other types of crab legs, snow crab legs are very cheap, even cheaper than Vietnamese crab legs. In Canada, fresh snow crabs after being caught on the shore will be split in half, including the crab legs and half of the body (legs) stored at -18 degrees in accordance with the standards to keep the sweetness and aroma of the crab meat. Imported goods will be packed in cartons weighing 5kg. On this occasion, affected by the Covid-19 epidemic, many restaurants and shops were closed, so in addition to wholesale, she also “tears” retail goods. Fortunately, this time the price of crab legs cooled down, people bought more to eat. Therefore, the amount of crabs consumed per day is still increasing quite strongly. Accordingly, the batch of 5 quintal crab legs imported last week, so far, only has about 15 boxes left, Ms. Lien said.

At that time, the lotus with thousand wings created a “fever”, people racing to buy seeds to plant. A lotus seed of a thousand petals has a price ranging from 400,000 to 500,000 VND, and a lotus pot of this type costs up to a million VND. The thousand-petaled lotus is like a foreign lotus. Because of the number of petals so many, it is called a lotus with a thousand petals or a lotus with a thousand layers. The red-pink lotus usually has between 800 and 1,000 petals (our lotus is less than 20 petals). Outside, the petals are large, the more inward the petals are smaller and dense. The thousand-petaled lotus is very wrong, the flower is nearly as big as the hand. Compared with other lotus species, the thousand-petaled lotus is very long gone. At this time, instead of selling plants or bulbs, on the “internet market” many people sell flower cut flowers like other traditional lotus. However, the price of a thousand-petaled lotus is quite expensive, up to 150,000-200,000 VND / 5 flowers, 5-7 times more expensive than ordinary lotus depending on type. Not to mention, people who love this type of lotus still have to “lay bricks” for 4-7 days to have them. Even in bad weather, you have to order about 2 weeks in advance. Ms. Truong Dieu Anh – a focal point selling fresh flowers in Ha Dong (Hanoi) – said on Vietnamnet, this year is the second year she sells thousand petals, but on the market this kind of lotus supply is quite rare. “Actually selling fresh flowers is just a part-time job. However, I always choose to sell exotic and beautiful flowers. The same goes for thousands of petals. To find a supply, it takes me a long time to discover the house.” This lotus pond will cut flowers for sale, “she said. She also said that the dresser reported that the flower output this year would be more. However, it will take two more weeks to start flowering. At that time, the amount of cut cotton will be available for retail and wholesale. At this time, the volume of goods is still quite modest, there are only 2 flights a week, customers who want to buy must book 3-5 days in advance.

According to the gardeners, although the price is as cheap as vegetables, plum rice is still unprecedented. Traders come to buy a little, ripe red plums on the tree, people do not bother to harvest. Mr. Nguyen Van Trong – a rice plum growing household in Chieng Co commune (Son La) – shared, his family has been growing plums for decades, but never fell in such a tragic situation. With the amount of up to 2,000 rice plums, his family is estimated to have around 25 tons of plums every year. The rice plum in Son La is in a flourishing harvest, but the price has dropped sharply. Photo: Nhat Thanh In previous years, since the beginning of the March crop, the traders’ car ran loudly to the buying garden. At one point, the price of plum rice at the beginning of the season was up to 70,000-80,000 VND / kg, but the quantity was not much. This year, the atmosphere is quiet, plum rice is cheap, partly due to the good season, and the output pumpkins, so the selling price at the garden is record low.

Now if you can’t sell it, you will lose a lot, ”she said, boredly. Ms. Quynh said, the plum rice season starts from March and lasts until May is over, then comes the plum season. However, this year, due to the fact that the goods cannot be sold for sale, there is no clue to buy, the sales volume is quite slow, many trees in her garden have become red and red. Plum prices are currently down to a few thousand VND / kg still meager. Photo: Nhat Thanh “This plum type, when the fruit is still green, can be sold when it is crispy and sour, only to be thrown away if it is ripe,” she said. On average, each tree gives about 30kg of fruit / crop. Her family’s crop this year is about 12 tons, but the amount of ripe fruit removed is 4-5 tons, the rest has not been sold much.

Currently, retail plums are 20,000-25,000 VND / kg, wholesale from 5kg is priced at 15,000 VND / kg.

This crop bears fruit all year round, but is most abundant in the summer. So, at supermarkets, shops, markets or on the street, people often see jackfruit displayed rampant, the price depends on each type and each time. As at present, Thai jackfruit is sold by gardeners with prices from 9,000-18,000 VND / kg depending on the type, rural jackfruit in the market is sold for 25,000-30,000 VND / kg. According to gardeners and sellers, this is a fairly cheap price. However, in the West, a garden house grows super strange jackfruit, red flesh and sells for a sky-high price, but still out of stock. The old farmer Hai Trang owns a 2-hectare red jackfruit orchard in Hau Giang (photo: M. Khuong) Mr. Manh Khuong – a focal point associated with a gardening house of red-flesh jackfruit – said that he is wholesaling this jackfruit for 90,000 VND / kg, but still does not have enough goods to supply the focal point. Jackfruit is always in a state of fire. This type of jackfruit is still quite strange on the market, not yet popularly grown. In the West, the first garden house and also the most famous red jackfruit orchard was owned by old farmer Hai Trang (Nguyen Minh Trang), in Vi Dong commune (Vi Thuy, Hau Giang). This type of jackfruit was discovered by him accidentally during a fair in Can Tho in 2003. At that time, he was introduced by the seller as a super early, fast fruit tree variety. In particular, ripe jackfruit has red color like baked brick color, thick rice, crispy sweet taste, mild aroma. That time, Mr. Hai Trang immediately bought 50 jackfruit stumps to plant around the house. The red-fleshed jackfruit tree grows quickly without pests, and soon starts to bear fruit. But there is only one tree with more than a dozen fruits, each fruit weighing 15-17kg, when ripe, both plump and jackfruit are dark red, just as he introduced the seedling. The remaining 49 trees also produce normal fruit, but when ripe, jackfruit is yellow, like other common jackfruit varieties. Therefore, he kept only red-fleshed jackfruit trees for multiplication, the rest were cut down. This type of jackfruit each fruit usually weighs over 10kg and is sold at a sky-high price (photo: M. Khuong) From the red jackfruit tree bought during the fair in Can Tho, so far he has propagated and planted a jackfruit garden up to 3ha wide. Two other gardeners who bought this red jackfruit from him planted are now also starting to harvest. “This jackfruit tree is still in the yard now. The original diameter is about 40cm. Many people come to ask to buy trees, even some people pay half a billion to own them, but we do not sell, keep for propagation”, Mr. Hai Trang shared. In 2020, the Covid-19 epidemic affects fruit consumption. At that time, he contacted the gardener to purchase all the jackfruit products of Mr. Hai Trang and the other two gardeners. From then to now, wherever he harvested jackfruit, he bought them all, he shared more. At the beginning of the association, the red-fleshed jackfruit was exported to wholesale mainly by the clean food chain stores in Ho Chi Minh City, and then expanded to Da Nang, Hanoi. 3 months ago, customers in Russia, Canada, even Dubai also contacted to order this specialty fruit. According to him, the red jackfruit fruit is quite big, the average weight is over 10 kg / fruit. Jackfruit is usually picked by gardeners when they are old. Therefore, after 3-4 days of picking, the jackfruit will be ripe and wait for 2 more days to add it, because it is the time when it is the most delicious, sweet, and true. “This jackfruit is not much. In particular, the amount of jackfruit collected each week depends on the gardeners. There are a week of collecting tons of tons, but some weeks it is only about 300kg. So, jackfruit is always in a state of fire, ”he said. The most outstanding feature of this jackfruit is the au red zone, thick and fragrant pulp (photo: M. Khuong) On the market, pre-peeled jackfruit costs up to 250,000 VND / kg, still sold out (photo: M. Khuong) Not only selling to domestic fruit shops, red jackfruit is also ordered by many foreign customers at high prices (photo: M. Khuong) During the weeks he bought a lot, he would divide it equally to deliver to domestic and foreign customers. With few weeks left, he gives priority to foreign customers. Because, they usually place fixed orders, the shipping schedule at the airlines is also predetermined, so they prioritize the goods, avoiding shipping costs. Depending on the request of foreign customers, he will sell whole or peeled jackfruit, frozen to deliver to them. However, Mr. Khuong shared that the number of foreign customers who could buy red flesh jackfruit was not much. He must refuse to reduce because the amount of jackfruit purchased from the gardeners is not enough to meet their needs. If there are goods, the amount of jackfruit must be up to tens of tons to be enough for wholesalers both domestically and for export. In the Hanoi market, whole red jackfruit is sold for up to 250,000 VND / kg. Although the price is 4 times more expensive than the price of the whole Thai jackfruit, but the red flesh jackfruit is still out of stock. Ms. Doan Hai Yen, owner of a clean fruit shop in Thanh Xuan (Hanoi), said that every week she can only enter one trip of red intestines from a garden in the West. Quantity also depends on each batch. At a time, the goods were in weight, but rarely, only a few dozen pounds per week. Most of the jack-ups are just enough to pay for customers who pre-order, and rarely have a lot of new jackpots available at the store.
