For a long time, durian has been known as the "king of fruits" due to its unique flavor and relatively expensive price. But recently, many people have found that the "King of Fruits" on the market has become cheaper, and topics such as "the wholesale price of durian drops to 20 yuan per kilogram" have also been trending on Weibo. Has the previously 'unattainable' durian really become 'people-friendly'? Has the price of durian dropped to over 20 yuan per kilogram? "At present, durian market prices are very disordered. There are more than 20 yuan and 30 yuan per kilogram, and if it is brand goods, there are more than 70 yuan." On the 6th, a fruit wholesaler in Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market told reporters. This is also consistent with the reporter's visit. Recently, reporters visited multiple supermarkets in Beijing and found that the prices of durian sold vary greatly. At a vegetable market in Xicheng District, Beijing, the price of durian is 35 yuan per kilogram. According to a fruit vendor in the vegetable market, previously the Golden Pillow Durian was sold for over 50 yuan per kilogram. However, due to a decrease in purchase prices during this period, the selling price has also decreased slightly. A promotional label is placed in front of a durian stall in a supermarket in Haidian District, Beijing. The price tag shows that from May 1st to May 7th, the price was 29.8 yuan per kilogram, a decrease of about 10 yuan compared to the previous 39.9 yuan. Durian is a seasonal fruit with significant price fluctuations. Recently, the price has been relatively cheap, and it is uncertain whether the price will be lower in the future, "said the supermarket guide. In another supermarket in Haidian District, the price of Golden Pillow Durian is 68 yuan per kilogram. "We have sold it for 38 yuan per kilogram before, and we will adjust the price according to the situation," said a staff member in the fruit section of the supermarket. The reporter noticed that on platforms such as Hema and Qixian, the price of Golden Pillow Durian is around 30 to 40 yuan, while the price of Maoshan King Durian is slightly higher, with a price of nearly 100 yuan per kilogram on a certain platform. The aforementioned wholesaler also mentioned that compared to March and April, the price of durian has indeed decreased a bit recently. Last month, the price per kilogram was around 30 yuan, and this month, some goods have dropped to over 20 yuan. But he also emphasized that good goods are not cheap. Currently, a box (32 pounds) of high-quality durian has a purchase price of 700 to 800 yuan, and the purchase price of Wenji durian is as high as over 50 yuan per kilogram. As for some particularly cheap durians on roadside stalls, they may be fake scales. According to data from the Beijing Xinfadi Wholesale Market, the average wholesale price of imported golden pillow durians on April 30th was 25.5 yuan per kilogram, a decrease of about 8 yuan in a month compared to 33.5 yuan on March 31st. Domestic durian will be launched, and the price may drop again. In the view of the wholesaler, the reason why consumers feel that durian prices have been cheaper recently is that from May to June, which coincides with the season of large-scale durian launches in Thailand, and the supply has increased. China is a true importer of durian. According to customs statistics, in 2022, the total import volume of durian was 825000 tons, worth 4.03 billion US dollars. In the first quarter of this year, the import volume and import amount of fresh durian in China were 91400 tons and 507 million US dollars respectively, showing year-on-year growth. As an important exporter of durian, 780000 tons of China's imports in 2022 came from Thailand. The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives of Thailand predicts that this year's water supply in the eastern region of Thailand
