April 20, 20223 yr Popular Post by Na-ark Rojanasuvan BANGKOK (NNT) - Barracuda mango prices are seeing a significant spike by as much as 10 baht per kg amid especially high demand for mango sticky rice. Wattanasak Sur-iam, director-general of the Department of Internal Trade, said that in addition to higher demand, policies to intervene in the price mechanism and increase distribution channels have also contributed to the surge. According to the director-general, the situation has helped mango growers to generate more revenue compared to last year. Top quality barracuda mangos are being sold at prices ranging from 25-35 baht per kg, up from last year’s 22 - 25 baht per kg.

The initiative allows more than 3,500 factories and companies in 63 industrial estates under the IEAT to pre-order mangos and other seasonal fruits, with Thailand Post providing logistic solutions. The IEAT will also allocate spaces inside industrial estates for farmers to set up stalls to directly sell their products. A total of 78 vending booths for barracuda mangos from Phichit, Phitsanulok, and Udon Thani will also be erected in 33 provinces. These three provinces are considered key barracuda mango production hubs. -- © Copyright NNT 2022-04-20 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Is it good for you? Hardly! Too much sugar!
April 21, 20223 yr Time to stop buying mango with sticky rice (or sticky rice with mango, as I prefer to call it).
April 24, 20223 yr Found them for 29baht/kg at Tesco just yesterday. Not everyone's gouging. I never buy them from Top/Gourmet/Central. They are always 79 and up there. Seen them as high as 199 off season.
April 24, 20223 yr Just my opinion, Thai mangoes are not even the best, in OZ we grow mangoes in the north they are absolutely better than the Thai ones
April 25, 20223 yr Mangos are selling for 25bht/Kg everywhere near me. As the season progresses they'll drop the price to 20bht/Kg. Same every year, and this is another bumper crop. My mango trees are so loaded (4-8 weeks before ripe) they're in danger of falling down.

Mrs said they were special mangoes when she planted it.... scarce would be my word! These are 1+Kg each. I planted 4 trees (different varieties), 2 are prolific, 2 are sparse. Luck of the draw ...........

I get a lot of rose apples, (champoon), don't know what to do with them, and most get dug back into he sandy ground.
