ORDERS from Nay Pyi Taw for Italian passion fruit, which is going to be out of season in Shan State’s Aungban fruits market, have mounted.
Passion fruit orders have been placed mainly by fresh juice shops and currently, the price has slightly climbed up.
“Italian passion fruit has been selling quite well. It is mainly produced in Yaksawk and Panglong. The majority of orders are from Nay Pyi Taw, Yangon, Mandalay, Hpa-an, Myawady and Tachilek but Nay Pyi Taw’s orders are the biggest. In Aungban, most of the orders are placed by fresh juice shops. It is going to be out of season and the price gets high slightly,” said Ma Nyo Lei Yi, an Italian passion fruit retail and wholesale trader in Aungban Township.
This year’s passion fruit production increased compared to last year and the trade has been doing well too.
“This year’s production is better than that of last year. The price is also high. Passion fruits are frozen in bags so that they can be sold throughout the year when the fruits are going to be out of season,” she added. — Thit Taw/ZS
