In Tra Vinh province, the peak harvest began early this month for specialty fruits like mangosteens, durians, rambutans and longans. Kha Van Hong, who has a 2,000 sq.m rambutan orchard in Tra Vinh’s Cau Ke district, said the weather was favourable for fruit this year. The fruit yield was more than 10 percent higher than normal, he said.
