Ha Chau Burmese grapes harvest season peaks in Can Tho, Vietnam

The Ha Chau Burmese grape (Baccaurea racemosa), a signature fruit of the Mekong Delta, is in full harvest from the fifth to the mid‑tenth lunar month, with peak production in July and August. Families such as that of Le Ngoc Bich in Nhơn Ai commune continue to cultivate the fruit, noting its low maintenance requirements and limited need for fertilizers or pesticides, which keeps production costs low and yields profitable returns.

Farmers report yields of about 2–2.5 tonnes per 1,000 m² and market prices ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 VND per kilogram, depending on the season. Although cultivated area has declined as some growers shift to other crops, the grapes remain popular across Can Tho and many other provinces for their attractive appearance, pale‑yellow skin, milky‑white flesh, and sweet‑tart flavor.
