Dong Nai’s first shipment of durian to the US

15 tonnes of durian have been exported to the US at a price of VND20,000 per kilo by the Biological Development Technology Company in southern Dong Nai province.

Dong Nai’s durian has been hybridized from the Thailand’s Mong Thon durian.

The company has so far invested VND3 billion in building a cold storage system in Long Khanh town, capable of storing and supplying more than 300 tonnes of durian a day, and 3 centres to provide hundreds of samplings a year for Dong Nai, Lam Dong and Dac Lak provinces.
