In Dak Lak, during the harvest season, people carry fruits from gardens in remote villages to Buon Ma Thuot City for sale. Everywhere you go, you see fruits everywhere. Many gardens are bright red with the color of ripe rambutan or the green color of avocado, the aroma of ripe custard apple...

Walking along the central markets and retail markets, it is easy to see people sitting in long rows selling fresh, delicious and cheap fruits. Among them, rambutan and custard apple cost from 5,000 to 15,000 VND/kg depending on the type. A little more expensive are avocado and durian, priced from 10,000 to 60,000 VND/kg.
Ms. H'Tay MLo, a fruit seller at Buon Ma Thuot Commercial Center Market, happily said that every day she carries about 30kg of rambutan and custard apples from her garden to the market to sell. Although each kilo is only sold for 5-7 thousand VND, but gradually saving up, she still earns a fair amount of money, saving to buy more clothes for her children when the new school year begins. Thanks to her hard work, this season she earns a few million VND from her garden.
In fact, customers only need 20 thousand VND to buy a few kilograms of fruit at markets in Dak Lak. Not to mention, if they go to the garden, customers can eat freely and get very "promotional" prices. Mr. Nguyen Viet Hung, Tan Thanh ward, Buon Ma Thuot city said: Fruit in season is very cheap, delicious and fresh. In particular, buying from ethnic people carrying fruit down the street is more secure because the fruit is delicious and there is no worry about the fruit being treated with growth stimulants.
Thanks to the fruit orchards, many villages have become famous. Buon D'Ha, Hoa Thang commune, Tan Lap ward, Buon Ma Thuot city is one of such addresses. This place has become an eco-tourism destination attracting many nature-loving tourists to visit and explore...

This year, thanks to the heavy rain, fruit trees in Dak Lak have a good harvest. But because of the good harvest, the price of this commodity has plummeted, affecting the income of many households. Ms. Le Thi Tam, Tan Thanh Ward, Buon Ma Thuot City, sadly said that rambutans have a good harvest this year but are sold too cheaply, each kilo is only 3-5 thousand VND when bought at the source. Seeing traders pay so little makes me feel sorry. But there is no other way, Ms. Tam has to sell off because she knows that this is a common situation for local farmers who grow fruit trees every time the fruit trees have a good harvest...
