Why are fruit prices changing and dropping dramatically in the current market?

The fruit market in Vietnam is currently very vibrant with constant changes in prices as well as consumer preferences, especially imported fruits. Specifically, imported fruits have a sharp drop in price, opening up opportunities for users to enjoy these fruits at lower prices. It can be said that this price reduction is not only attractive but also reduces pressure on users according to budget.

There are many reasons why fruit prices become super cheap, shocking the market:

• That year’s fruit harvest is good, farmers will reduce prices to increase competition for traders and consumers.
• When fruit is purchased, the quantity is very large, fruit growers or traders who import a lot but cannot sell much will proceed to sell at a loss. This makes the price of fruit much cheaper.
• Fruit sold by carts along the roadside brings super cheap prices to consumers. Because these carts do not have to pay for premises like stores, supermarkets, and buy fruit directly from the garden, they will get a better price.
• Cheap fruit is sometimes imported from unknown origins, imported from China and sprayed with pesticides.

Factors affecting fruit price fluctuations

The drop in fruit prices or the fact that some fruits are sold at super cheap prices has made consumers worried because they are afraid of poor quality goods. However, there are many factors affecting fruit prices and causing fruit prices to drop sharply at the present time.

• Nowadays, many people choose to trade imported fruits or local fruits. Consumers still have a need to use fruits, but they are more strict when choosing sources of supply and sales locations, which has caused fruit prices to fluctuate to increase competition.
• According to many retailers, fruit prices have become surprisingly cheap because importers often commit to importing goods from the beginning of the season. While fruit imports are increasing rapidly, purchasing power has not improved much, and people are tightening their spending in the midst of a difficult economic situation. Therefore, fruit prices are sharply reduced to stimulate customers and avoid long-term inventory.
• Imported fruits have high prices because they have to bear many costs such as taxes, transportation and preservation. However, when shipping units compete and reduce costs to attract customers, the selling price of fruits will also decrease sharply.
