Mango growers complain of low prices and fewer export orders due to COVID-19 - Thai PBS World Tonight [22nd March 2021]

Mango orchard owners in Phitsanuloke, Thailand, face severe financial losses due to drastically low prices for their fruit, particularly golden Barracuda mangoes.
The plummeting prices (10-20 baht/kg for Barracuda, 2-5 baht/kg for other varieties) are attributed to fewer export orders and reduced buyers caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic.
Local provincial officials are actively forming sales promotion teams, including public and private sector representatives, to help growers sell their mangoes online and are seeking inter-provincial assistance to boost sales.
