goes contrary to any fruit purchase i have ever made irrespective of quallity. these are not bad quality fruit i have purchased, just not optimal thai quality fruits. still 100 % edible
Most fruit and veg is imported from Thailand or Vietnam. :facepalm:
Optimal quality produce from Thailand and Vietnam is being sold elsewhere for higher prices. Thats why we get the cheap and not so good products in Cambodia.
1000r for two mangoes ? Nobody else wants them.
i still content that its just not worth it to get them here for that price. its not as if they have any difficulty filling trucks into the country. am also judging price by the mark up on other fruit, which seem to come from thailand, from the thai price.
dont know current vietnamese prices
Exporting from Cambodia is a problem because of poor product quality control. However, Cambodia will take almost anything without any controls at all, so we end up with the leftovers that are not accepted in other countries because of health, safety and quarantine regulations. Clear enough ?
