Mr. Huynh Han, a dragon fruit trader in Ham Thuan Nam district, said that dragon fruit has many prices at this time, depending on the type. Seasonal white-fleshed dragon fruit (dragon fruit that grows naturally in the weather) has a purchase price of about 12,000 VND/kg, electric-powered dragon fruit (off-season dragon fruit, stimulated to produce fruit by using electric lights) has a slightly higher price of 15,000 VND/kg, and red-fleshed dragon fruit is about 17,000 VND/kg.

However, at this time, red-fleshed dragon fruit is "out of season", it will take about 5 more days for red-fleshed dragon fruit to ripen and be in high supply.

There are also gardens that harvest red dragon fruit out of season to sell, but the price is as high as 25,000 VND/kg.
