Ripe Trang Da persimmons are sweet, refreshing, and considered one of autumn’s signature specialties. |

Since the fruit ripens quickly, the harvesting and ripening process must take place continuously during the season. Farmers often ripen persimmons themselves before selling, which helps improve the product’s value. Currently, the price of Trang Da persimmons remains stable at VND25,000 - VND30,000 per kilogram. |
