Early-season Sơn La plums are selling in Ho Chi Minh City at up to 250,000 dong per kilogram, about 5-10% higher than the same period last year and approaching the price of some imported fruits. Since the beginning of April, early-season plums have appeared in fruit shops in Ho Chi Minh City but supply remains limited. Type 1 (20-25 fruits per kg) is offered at around 250,000 dong per kg. Type 25-35 fruits per kg ranges from 120,000 to 150,000 dong, while Type 3 is 85,000-100,000 dong. Ms. Thanh, owner of a fruit shop in Xuan Hoa ward, said the early-season fruit is scarce, especially the larger fruit. Each batch she imports around 50 kg. Despite it being April, prices are higher than in previous years due to higher transport costs. She notes the plums are not inferior in price to US grapes or Australian plums; US grapes and Australian plums are currently about 200,000-250,000 dong per kg, depending on variety, so domestic Type 1 plums are at a similar level. In Ben Thanh ward, Ms. Trang says she has imported four batches with total output nearly 25 tạ. Type 30 fruits per kg sells for about 145,000 dong. The seller notes this year's fruit quality is good, large, uniform, crisp, sweet with a mild sour taste, making it easier to eat than imported fruit. This fruit typically has one harvest per year, so demand remains high at the start of the season. At the Ho Chi Minh City agricultural wholesale market in Thu Duc, supply is not abundant. Each day only a few wholesalers operate with very small quantities. Wholesale prices range from 130,000 to 150,000 dong per kg but do not meet demand; some days there is no stock. According to Mr. Nguyen Van Thanh, a trader buying in Son La, this year's early-season plum yield declined by about 10% due to unfavorable weather. The source from Moc Chau is not as abundant as before, making it harder for prices to drop quickly. Additionally, higher fuel costs push up transport costs, contributing to higher retail prices. Ms. Pham Thi Lan, Director of the Son La Department of Plant Protection and Crop Production, said the planted area this year remains around 12,000 hectares, with an estimated output of 80,000 tons. However, yields in the early and late seasons are lower than last year, so prices tend to stay high. For orchards cultivated under GlobalGAP standards, fruit quality is better, therefore selling at higher prices.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
