Follow up on the flowering and fruiting situation of 4 types of fruit trees: durian, mangosteen, rambutan, and longkong in the area of 3 provinces (Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat). In summary, in 2024, the total production volume of all 4 types was 1,114,070 tons, increasing from 2023 which was 1,046,254 tons ( increased by 67,816 tons or 6.48 percent), with mangosteen increasing the most by 42 percent, followed by rambutan increasing by 8 percent, longkong increasing by 3 percent and durian increasing slightly by 1 percent. The total production of all 4 types of fruit trees more Because the weather conditions this year are suitable for the flowering and fruiting of mangosteen, rambutan, and longkong from the plants being able to rest and collect food. Last year there were few flowers and fruit, while durian production increased slightly. This is because the rate of area yielding durian fruit has increased more than the rate of decrease in average yield per rai. The area that will begin yielding fruit in 2024 will be the first year, increasing by more than 38,000 rai. The yield of all 4 types of fruit trees will be highest in May 2024. Accounted for 51 percent of total production.

For 4 types of fruit trees, including durian, rambutan, mangosteen and longkong, from 3 eastern provinces (Rayong, Chanthaburi, Trat), in 2024 there was a total standing area of 950,614 rai, an increase from 2023 which was 910,872 rai (an increase of 39,742 rai or 4.36 percent). ) Total productive area is 680,949 rai, an increase from 656,626 rai in 2023 (an increase of 24,323 rai or 3.70 percent). The average yield per rai is 1,636 kilograms, an increase from 2023 with an average yield per rai of 1,593 kilograms (an increase of 43 kilograms or 2.70 percent) has a total production volume of 1,114,070 tons, an increase from 1,046,254 tons in 2023 (an increase of 67,816 tons, or 6.48 percent) because last year the weather was not conducive to flowering and fruiting of the trees. result Therefore, the plants were allowed to rest and collect food, causing this year to produce more flowers and fruit. In addition, durian trees that have been planted in the past several years have begun to produce a relatively large increase in production for the first year in all three provinces, making the overall production of all four types of fruit trees increase from last year. But due to climate change/unusual weather As a result, this year's crop will have several generations. However, there are still risk factors from climate change and the El Ni?o phenomenon affecting the quantity and quality of fruit trees in the 3 eastern provinces. Including managing enough water throughout the harvest season. As for the distribution of all 4 types of fruit trees, they began to gradually be released to the market from January.
