What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Shenzhen ports recorded record high fresh durian imports between April and July this year, totaling 26,200 tons valued at 797 million yuan. These imports, sourced from Thailand, Malaysia, and other APEC economies, have led to noticeable price reductions in local markets. Prices for Monthong durian in Guangzhou dropped from approximately 20 yuan per 500 grams to between 13.8 and 17.8 yuan per 500 grams.
